Didn't get to the gas tube yet, but here's most of the rest. It was well lubed, extra well lubed while I tried to troubleshoot on the spot. I did block the chamber and blow through the barrel and the gas block/tube seems to be flowing freely for whatever that is worth. I'll see if I can get the block off tomorrow and add that info.

Thanks for the translation, spot on. Busy couple of days, but I'm going through the waterboarding now, get that up soon.

Thanks, I'll check it out and get back with more detail this evening

I finished building a new AR10 about a month ago and put about 50 rounds through it so far. It has not ejected a round, cycled, or locked back on empty mag yet. I'm looking for any advice that anyone can offer. My gut feeling is that my lightweight bolt doesn't have enough mass to compress my buffer. I'm looking at ordering a lighter buffer spring, but thought I'd check first as it may be gas related and I can't find tube diameter info. Specs of the build are below for perusing and advice. For what it's worth, I was able to zero and take a couple of deer this year while manually cycling it, so at least it goes bang and shoots straight. It will lock back on an empty mag if cycling by hand and the bolt stops at random lengths along it's travel, but never far enough to eject the spent case.
