FOGeologist Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 All thanks to jtallen83! He suggested to another poster to check flex on his barrel. I had read his advice before but never considered that my gas block could hit the handguard. Boy, was I wrong! My goofy PSA adjustable gas block is lopsided, and I couldn’t tell because the handguard was blocking me from seeing it. I thought the unthinkable - “Could my gas block be hitting the inside of my Guntech handguard?” Yep. Easily. After my eyes were rolling like the digits on an old style gas pump, I chopped off the top front 3” from that thing and went to town sanding and touching up the handguard. No amount of barrel whip will cause it to strike anything now. Gotta get back out to the range to see if this brought the accuracy up.

jtallen83 Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 That can be a hard one to catch, cost me a ton of ammo and frustration till I spotted that little shiny spot. Glad I could help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
