[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 343988, member: 21068"] Problem appears to be solved. The new gas tube was .004" bigger, changed it out. The tube was a little loose in the block, changed the block out. Carl at ASI said that he uses a .1 port hole on his customs, so when I went through Denver last week I stopped by his shop and he opened the port to .103". Went out last night (about 15 degrees and near zero with wind chill) fired 20 rounds single shot and let the rifle get good and cold again every few rounds. Bolt locked back every time. Has had about 80 rounds fired since cleaning. Last week, with only 60 rounds fired; Bolt wouldn't lock back on empty magazine. It appears that the issue was a combination of things; rings wore out, tube ends too small, gas block too big and perhaps too small of a gas port. Whatever the case, all seems to be good now.........Yee HA!......HAPPY NEW YEAR!! [/QUOTE]
