rvb Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) I don't shoot long-guns too often, but went to a uspsa rifle match yesterday for some fun. I was having a good match, getting good hits and having a good time.... until my AR stopped running . Started as a failure evey now and then... then I have about 4 feed failures on the 2nd to last stage. On the last stage it turned into a manually-operated action. Figured something was up w/ the gas system.... Damn pin holding the gas tube in the front sight base came out! Luckily I have a spare on hand and already replaced it. Even staked it in this time. Hard to keep something like that from zapping the fun out. Was a great match otherwise (Good job hosting your first rifle match, Howard!). -rvb Edited August 12, 2007 by rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvb Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 well, still came in 2nd in Lim w/ 70%... won the 200yd stage for Lim (was my first stage and gun was still working then). Oh well, still had a good time and will be a repeat rifle customer at York! Only next time I'll have a semi-auto AR!! -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotm4 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 If you had reused you gas tube roll pin this can be a cause for it coming out. They're really only designed to be used once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
