    Ar woes

    I recently replaced a quad rail with a free floating tube and had to remove the gas assembly for this. I used it once after and worked fine. Went out today and im getting no response from gas after firing a round the bcg doesnt even attempt to move. I need to pull CH to extract and chamber next round, itll go bang but again no blow back. I removed gas tube and reinstalled to make sure there is no clogging anywhere and verify the hole is aligned with barrel hole, anything else you guys would do?

    Clean vent hole in barrel and clean the gas block itself. Otherwise that should take care of it.

      With the upper completely assembled:
      Plug the chamber with a rubber plug or the eraser end of a regular wood pencil.
      Apply pressurized air at the muzzle.
      Verify that a large volume of air is coming out of the gas tube in the receiver.
