HELP! i took my m14 apart a few times to clean it and the last time i put it all back together i was spinning the gas lock thingy around and not really thinking it was a big deal. so i went shooting and what do you know,, single shot not grabbing up the next round!??wtf? but its ejecting the rounds and going click when i pull the trigger with no round in it? so i look online last night for hours and decide its this short stroking problem so i take it apart and what do ya know... the gas lock goes past where it should be tight and tightens like a sumna##### almost directly oposite where it should be, so i back it off and tighten the gas plug on good in hopes it will hold it there and keep the ports aligned. next mornin i go out and shoot it and its cycling rounds like normal?? i only fired 1 full mag and was like.. hmm its working but i thinks i might need shims? anyone else get this problem??
 
maybe ill try and flip the gas lock around but then i gotta deal with the front sight and muzzle break,, it dont look welded on there,, ? just need to get it off but i dont want to open a new can of worms by doing this
 
When everything is properly aligned, an allen key should be able to drop into the bottom of the gas cylinder, straight down into the barrel.
