ok carto, here's my 2cents worth. there's no need to clean the gas system. 50K PSI should do the trick. I'd check that your gas key is properly staked. Also check that you aren't losing any gas at the gasblock(if you clean it really well before shooting you will notice the carbon build up from a leak). What kind of ammo are you using? Try some good federal m193 if you haven't. Also check for short stroking. Load magazines with 1 round. Fire and check that the bolt locks back. If it locks back with good ammo, proceed to the next steps as you have established that you don't have the problem of being under gassed. You said the rifle has a "standard buffer". Does this mean the head is not marked? If so then it is a carbine weight, which is not heavy enough for an 11.5" barrel. Colt 11.5" commando(my duty rifle) uses a "H" buffer. My home built 11.5" needed a "H2" buffer to run correctly. If you are going to change buffer weights, I would probably just go with the "H2".
4-5 feet away, to the right and behind me.....
Can you clean the gas systen without pulling the gas block? I really think to get to the vent hole ill have to pull the block completely off which means grinding off a big unly weld................wait a minute, is that a bad thing?
