i am not big on ak platform but we have a semi auto ak47 short stroking, ejects the spent round but does not fully strip the next round from the mag, tried different mags so not a mag issue, weapon is clean and lubed
was working fine previously, weapon has a high round count, tried a gas tube we had on hand with no improvement manualy charging the weapon works fine, weapon is 7.62x39, full length barrel and gas system wood stock ideas? thought maybe the oprod/piston is wore out? |

tried a gas tube we had on hand with no improvement The gas tube is little more than an alignment for the gas piston to make its way back into the gas block. It doesn't affect function enough to matter, and there is a video on youtube of an AK cycling without the gas tube. Quoted:
thought maybe the oprod/piston is wore out? That'd be very unlikely. Its not a component that's going to wear out even for several lifetimes, even if it were, you'd be able to see the wear on it.
Hope that helps. |

If it's shortstroking either you're loosing gas or the acting is robbing energy.
You're not using a recoil buffer, are you? If so, remove it and try with live ammo again. Do you have a after market trigger installed? Pull the dust cover and remove the recoil spring. If you manually move the bolt carrier back and forth does it move freely w/o binding? You should feel some resistance when the bolt carrier runs over the hammer, but that shouldn't prevent the bolt carrier motion. Also check that the stripping lug of the bolt isn't hitting the magazine instead of the cartridge base. Do the same check as above but have a empty mag in. You're not using a recoil buffer, are you? If so, remove it and try with live ammo again. AJ |
