Don't get spooked by steel case. I run it through all my guns as well as brass ammo. No issues. If your gun is built right it will run anything.It's already blue locktite up. Was shooting wolf gold and pmc ammo. I won't run steel case anymore through my guns except ak. Gonna take a spare bcg which I know functions and my tools just incase.
Screw rockset. I like to be able to take my **** apart without a headache or cutting it off. /QUOTE]
Maybe I'm not using enough, but I've used Rockset before, and it really wasn't that hard to take off. I didn't slather it on there but I thought I put enough on it to make a couple brakes and a flash hider stay....and they popped off without much hassle
When your gun is built right it will run anything.
Corrected that for you, we already know that the initial builder screwed the pooch
I'll run steel in my P415 every once in a great while, but still prefer brass in everything

I had problems with PMC Bronze out of a Larue AR. Called Larue, they told me that PMC Bronze, CBC, and steel cased ammo were a no no in their rifles.
I have since sold the Larue back to it's original owner with full disclosure about the ammo. I have never ran CBC (actually never even heard of it) or steel cased ammo through any AR I have owned. But apparently the PMC Bronze is under powered according to the guy I spoke with at Larue.
I'm not going to participate in a brass vs. steel debate, but I do have to agree with TT, I want an AR that will run anything that is thrown at it.

Make sure both screws are removed, knock the gas block back into place and apply blue loctite to the screws and reinsert making sure the block is straight. Probably no blockage.
also clp burns off quick. I'd use a heavier lube
Well 3 mags worth and no issues!! So I'm guessing it was the gas block. Hopefully it stays fixed! Haha
If you get a chance to pick some up, Rocksett is probably a better option than loc tite for the gas block and/or muzzle device. Not that loc tite doesn't work for many folks, but Rocksett holds up >2000F.
Only 3 dozen?Rocksett is always my recommendation. I've built over 3 dozen ARs and currently own 7. I use it on gas blocks and suppressor mounts. It's never come loose when I didn't want it to.
Only 3 dozen?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being that I don't work at a shop with paying customers... only 3 dozen. Kinda getting burnt out on the AR platform though so time to see where that leads me.
I'm just messing with ya though for real. I think the real lesson as you know id have someone that knows what they are doing work on your guns. We live in the age of every bubba is building AR's with the cheapest parts they can find or without the proper knowledge. Then we are left to fix the peoblems. It's a mess out there lol.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being that I don't work at a shop with paying customers... only 3 dozen.
