Hi all I have a early 70's Colt ar15 Carbine model. I purchased it new about 15 years ago in unfired condition and since than have put maybe 500 rounds thru it with no issues. Recently I was shooting steel cased Russian ammo (Tulos?) and was getting jams and the rifle wouldn't pick up the next cartridge when it ejected a spent round. I tossed the rest of the Russian ammo, cleaned it really well and put it away. Sunday we were shooting quality brass as usual and it was having a problem picking up the next round pretty regularly. I broke it down and by accident discovered the gas key on top of the bolt assembly was loose, loose enough to rattle when I shook it. I was able to tighten the allen screws and restaked them. I figure this is the issue but is there anything else to look for before I take it back out to the range?
