Gas ring issue
Hi all
I got new gas rings for my AR the other day (SigM400 in 5.56)
After I had put the new gas rings on, the bolt would not go back into the BCG.
I know there is resistance sometimes if you replace your gas rings but these rings seemed to be bigger than they should be. I tried a number of times but the fit was way too tight. With lube too.
On the packaging it doesn't mention caliber but I bought them through a well known dealer online that advertised them as being compatible with my rifle.
Anyone had this before?

Re: Gas ring issue
Are the rings able to compress into their recess on the bolt?
There may be carbon build up prevent them from seating properly.
