rangerguy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I found a bunch of old threads about these but nothing recent. The older threads are pretty split on these. Just wanting your guys experience on these. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I got a bunch of them. I will sell them for $5.00 each and I'll mail them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTimm Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) I had one seize up on me, literally the gun started screeching and then fail to fire stoppages. The gas ring swelled or expanded and seized up inside the carrier. There are also reports of some being undersized as well. For me I've never had issues with quality gas rings. Yes they break every now and then but they are a replaceable item. I personally will no longer run a one piece ever again. Sorry Kurt, hope I'm not hurting sales :-) Edited December 5, 2012 by bluepythons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I used to use them but stopped. Issues with them wearing sooner than standard rings. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronswin Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 My experience with the one piece ring is the same as Alaskapopo. Worn out after just a few hundred rounds of factory ammunition and I'm back to standard rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are a solution looking for a problem IMHO. The old wives tale about malfunctions caused by gas rings lining up is nonsense unless your gun is very marginally gassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PursuitSS Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 They are a solution looking for a problem IMHO. The old wives tale about malfunctions caused by gas rings lining up is nonsense unless your gun is very marginally gassed. BIG +1 Colt teaches in their Armorers class that their AR-15's will run on just ONE gas ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Does this mean you guys don't want these P.O.S. (piece, ordinary, superfluous.) Hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyNo! Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 They were undersized on a bolt I needed replacement gas rings on. Threw them out and used regular ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gale Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 3 bolt rings can expand and contract independently of each other forming a better seal. The McFarland ring has to change its length when it contracts or expands and the individual coils can't work independently of each other. The McFarland ring is has its uses but it gets blamed regularly for poor quality carriers and bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I really do have 12 of these. Some folks really like them. If you are one of them let me know cause they just sit in my toolbox drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
