[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is this normal?

Went to the range yesterday and took my FAL along, watch closely at the 54 second mark in my video and look at the flame that comes out near the gas regulator, is this normal? Ammo was a mix of Wolf and old Norinco.

Looks like the gas port was pretty open. Interesting that it doesn't appear on subsequent shots.

Wouldn't worry too much about it.

I have seen my Imbel do this when shooting in the shade.

No worries.

I love my FAL....

I see this every now and then from my Imbel and have seen it from friend's DSA. As noted above, I have only noticed it when in the shade or at dusk...
