Norinco M14 M305 gas cylinder removal issue
- Thread starter DoubleU
- Start date
Psyex it worked like a charm. I should have figured that out myself but it looked like it was welded together or attached and I didnt think to try unthreading it. Worked perfectly, piston out without issue.
Thanks for the patience, cant wait to hit the range.

Yes
i got another question about the gas system. I heard you are not suppose to lubricate the piston. correct? well i havent been lubricating it but been cleaning it every 500rounds or so. well today i went to the range and tried shooting my norinco and it was only firing one round then gets jammed. i noticed the piston was not sliding when doing the tilt test. i did a field strip and noticed the piston was starting to have surface rust which is causing it to be jammed. so my question is are we suppose to lube it a tiny bit so this wont happen again? btw i havent used the norinco in 6months till today and i cleaned it before storing.

Did you use corrosive ammo?
Okay, you guys... sign up for a clinic and let's get all these newbie issues sorted out once and for all.... Keep that gas piston dry. It's designed to be shot that way. For you clean freaks, I got yer backs. When I was on the shooting team we cleaned our pistons this way:
1) couple of drops of bore cleaner into the weep / exhaust hole at the bottom / under the gas cylinder just before the front band
2) cycle the action a few times to work that carbon cleaning / loosening bore cleaner work on the carbon
3) go to the range and (must yell, "Fzck you , GI!" or "Gooks in the Wire!" while) shooting that baby lots.
No joking, that's how you clean gas systems. Or you newbs could buy a drill bit scouring/digging set and scrape the shzt outta yer components, but they yer #### will likely fall off. Either way, just shoot it dry! I cannot remember my NRA High Power (he's ranked as a High Master) coach tell me otherwise.
Please be careful and always load from the mag, even if it's slow fire/ individually.... prevents slam fires and #### loss!
Cheers,
Barney

I don't think I'd be able to keep shooting if I heard that at the range, I'd be too busy pissing myself laughing.
