Hi guys this is my first post on the forums, but I've always been a fan and this has always been my go-to resource to rise above the bullshit and backwoods redneck retard myths that present themselves in the firearms community. Before anyone asks why I have selected the SR556, it should be known that I work for a large FFL dealer here in Texas and Ruger was nice enough to gift it to me for personal usage. :dance3: I own several ARs (LWRC, LMT, Noveske, Colt and a Bushy) so please spare me on the "just go out and buy a real gun" speech.
Anyway, I've put around 7,000 rounds through it now and have had zero signs of carrier tilt and not one malfunction that I can honestly remember. The rifle has an adjustable piston system and last week I replaced the action spring and added an h2 buffer. (long overdue) With all this and with the piston on setting 1, I ran 550 rounds of AE223 and I did not have a single malfunction and the bolt locked to the rear on empty every single time. Also my brass was ejecting at 4:00 consistently. Now my question, am I safe to ASSume this thing is really over-gassed?

Sounds like you have a good one. I wouldn't ASSume anything. :D
