put the final touches on the .223 wylde rifle last night , took it out for a test run a few minutes ago and not cycling , has a superlative arms gas block , i started shut , then 2 click increments until wide open and no joy
rifle length gas , 20 inch barrel , standard buffer , bolt racks and ejects fine with charging handle , see carbon in the gas tube , nickle boron bolt with really only carbon on the face , well lubed , strips new round and loads fine when racking charging handle
thinking maybe im off on my gas port alignment even though i thought i took great care in aligning
first complete build from scratch
on a plus side while i was adjusting the gas block i was sighting in the scope , just off a bag i was getting 2 inch at 50 yards , when i get it cycling i will strap it in a lead sled and see what it does without my old eyes as a factor
i figured given i was using a adjustable gas block a standard buffer was good to go
