Alright. So yesterday is the first time I've gotten another chance to take my rifle out and fire it.
I fired a crap ton of different types of ammo through it, using different types of magazines. By crap ton, I'm talking several hundred rounds. That's a crap ton to me.
Some steel cased Tula caused my only malfunction.
I fired standing, from a bench, and shooting and moving. Slow, rapid fire, and mag dumps. One malfunction. So I feel pretty certain, steel cased ammo was my problem.
So that night, I go back home and clean my rifles, just like the Marine Corps taught me, and I happen to notice the front sight looked slightly canted. While resting upside down on the front and rear sights, I can slide a piece of paper under one side of the FSB, but not the other.
So here's my new questions, could the canted front sight have come from an over-torqued barrel, which in turn is causing just enough problem with the gas system to short stroke?
And...
I didn't need excessive windage to achieve a proper zero, if it were you, would you try and fix it, or just leave it be?
