[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 914752, member: 69478"] My Dad's friend had one in .308 that would extract casings but didn't have enough gas to fully function the bolt forward after ejection. It would also fire but the bolt wouldn't go all the way to the rear and would never eject the spent case and would rechamber the empty. Sometimes it would not cock the hammer after extracting the empty and chambering a loaded round, so it had to be manually charged in order to fire. On rare occasions it would empty the magazine on full auto because the bolt wouldn't go all the way back into battery and the hammer would just follow the bolt forward as it chambered a loaded round and slammed fired because of the inertia. After struggling with these problems, my Dad checked the gas port diameter with a mic then opened the gas hole up with the next size up tap. After the fixing the rifle function flawlessly. [/QUOTE]
