Oh yeah....thats the gas rings with the funky slash cut / / ends Ive been complaining about for so long here and over on Weapon Evolution.I never got past 500 rounds with a set on test/inspection and had one set actually cause funtion issues as mentioned above.The material that the gas rings are made of is soft and easily deforms.
Caused me to move to using the McFarland rings as recommended at the time by Grant and Iraqgunz.No issues since.
So Im glad to see it was not just me seeing these crap gas rings.

Be aware that there are also some odd ball one piece McFarland type rings floating around as well.So buy from a reliable source....a good example would be Grant at G&R Tactical.I know for a fact his USGI gas rings and McFarland rings are good to go.
