What time? Will that cycle the action? I have a friend with some of that stuff.

It should cycle with my Schuster. I'll be up there around 1 pm or so.

I tried that stuff. It won't cycle your action it will short stroke and jam. It dirtied up my gas system too.

That is okay, turn off your gas spindle valve and yank back the op rod each time.

I was the first person to fire a rifle at ITP using this stuff and my M1A

More to the point, It's German training ammo for the G3 rifle.

It won't cycle an M14 and there is no way to safely get it to do so.

The G3 battle rifle uses this ammo with a special bolt that is lighter and has less resistance to get it to cycle.

There is no way to do this on an M14 since it's a gas operated action. The 10 grain plastic bullet leaves the barrel without building up any gas pressure.

You just have to shut off the spindle valve on the gas system and yank the op rod back each time.
