Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Blowby at Gas Block ?
Posted: 4/10/2006 5:27:35 PM EDT
I'm getting blowby in front of the gas block onto the barrel.
It is tightened down as tight as I can get it, is there something I can do to stop the blowby.
It is not a whole bunch but I think it is to much. I would think any leakage could affect accuracy.

GET YOUR HANDS ON ANOTHER GAS BLOCK.
IF YOU STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE BARREL THE PROBLEM.

Load a single round in a mag, charge from the mag and fire.  

If the bolt locks back on the bolt catch (empty mag), then the light leakage is not a problem.
