But the gun shoots. So I leave it alone.
I guess if it started short stroking I’d trouble shoot but I’d also like to replace them before it got to that point.
Related question: have you ever had gas rings wear out to the point your rifle no longer worked reliably?
If it stops working replace it. If it works then it is good. Don't over think it.
In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.
