is it a les baer? if so why doesn't it work?

[cemoulton]

i've tried this in 3 different carbines and one rifle, with 2 different bolts. it just barely moves when fired turns the weapon into a straight pull. any clues?

i am throwing together a spare parts pistol and found it in the bottom of my parts bin (i honestly thought i threw it out) i don't even remember where it came from, it just showed up one day. proprietary bolt maybe?

I have no idea that it is a LB or not. I will say that the staking of the gas key looks inadequate to me.

Is the gas key loose?

Nope. Tight like a tiger.

[MegademiC]

Do the bolts fit tight? Maybe the gas ring area of the bcg is worn or out of spec?

[RichinVA]

Gas key cracked on the tube end? Gas key and tube mating properly?

rings are tight, it passes the old stand on end test.

Field staking method, seriously.

That said why the hell does that have so many carrier rails? Talk about lazy ass machining.

Edit: op get a pipe cleaner and stick it in the gas key and see if it comes through into the carrier.

We had a rifle (USMC issue) that had the same problem. There was no hole through the carrier for the gas to flow through. That would be my guess. I would take the key off and check that

Did anyone bother to read that he was able to pass a pipe cleaner through it?
