M4 noob question

[larryf]

I recently acquired a M4. I did the prelim cleaning prior to shooting it the first time and then went to the range and unloaded a box of shells to break it in. Afterwords, I broke the gun down completely per the manual and then reassembled.

 

Now when I tilt the gun up or down, I can hear the gas piston roads moving back and forth a bit??? Is this normal after a first time complete breakdown or did I f'up on something?

 

Thanks,

Larry

No worries Larry and welcome to the forum. The pistons should move back and forth freely.

Don't listen to them. The weapon is now worthless and useless and you must send it to me for proper disposal

Don't mess with those squirrels, they might have some of those DDupleks rounds
