Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Broken gas ring
Posted: 3/9/2006 10:50:40 PM EDT
Went to the range and shot a few hundred rounds the other day. When I broke it down for cleaning I noticed one of the gas rings was broken. It snapped off a pretty good piece. Could this be a sign of an underlying problem? I was shooting a little bit of everything. Black hills, WWB, Wolf, Academy cheap stuff. The rifle never FTF of FTL. Any ideas???

 I would have to write this off as shit happens. An AR/M16 can run along  just fine on one ring. Replace all of them at one time. Get yourself a quality set from Bushie , RRA, or Colt , .You get the picture. Put quality parts in your rifle. Hope she feels better soon, WarDawg

We need a great deal more information on the rifle/bolt (what brands), how many rounds have been fired threw the rifle, and if you have been pulling the gas rings during cleanings or not, before telling you if a snapped gas ring is normal or not.
