--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a FAL with a new 18" barrel . I did not cut down the barrel, I got the barrel from SARCO, The barrel has markings of "R" and "O.G.".
It is built on a IMBEL rec.
The gas plus is set for "A" (top) ( not for grenade operation).
I have tried all the gas settings( 2 thur 7), There is no difference in the bolt movement in any of the gas settings.
The piston moves freely, the piston is new from Tapco with a new spring from Tapco. The piston (with no spring on drops free into the rec when held upright.
The butt stock recoil spring is new, the bolt /carrier moves freely.
The mag drops free and the bolt is locked back properly when the bolt is retracted.
The round in chamberd properly from the mag. The first round fires, but the bolt /carrier only moves to the rear about 1 inch and the round is not extracted .
I hope this is new information helps.
