parachute Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Has bothered to change the rubber o-rings? How often are you supposed to do it. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stid2677 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I changed mine after about 300 rounds, they were damaged from removing the gas piston and the edges had gotten flat. About 8 bucks each at Brownells. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I went elk hunting in Utah, before the hunt I shot my rifle at their range and was 6 inches low. I made the proper adjustment and blew the X out of the target. Before I left, I completely tore down my rifle and cleaned it, I don't know if that caused it. Steve, I like your photos, if I can figure out how to do it, I'll post a picture of my 5 X 5 bull elk I got this year. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al More than likely, that was the cause of the POI shift. This can happen with any rifle, even quality bolt actions. But a semi-auto with a gas system attached to the barrel is particularly vulnerable to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 $8.00 for an o-ring. What's this world coming to? I'd consider buying one from Brownells and taking that one to a hardware store and matching it to a handful of extras for 25 cents apiece. Grainger, McMaster Carr, Fastenal, etc. should also have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the ones for my 1100 are like $1.50 ea and those I now get at Ace hardware for cents and work the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
