Just like Fort Benning taught me.<br /><br />But it has no effect on the actual operation or reliability of the rifle.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328915597574377444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540162652707616108.post-91913717389981379342010-03-18T12:04:16.892-04:002010-03-18T12:04:16.892-04:00I posted my comment before I read Haji's analy...I posted my comment before I read Haji's analysis on his blog. <br /><br />He makes perfect sense. <br />I'll just continue to stagger them, though, in my rifles.The Broozerhttp://abra-cad-abra.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1540162652707616108.post-80797087820285699802010-03-18T11:58:34.355-04:002010-03-18T11:58:34.355-04:00I learned in the Corps ('82-'86)to take sp...I learned in the Corps ('82-'86)to take special care to make sure that they were NOT aligned. <br /><br />I didn't know why at the time it didn't matter why, I just obeyed, but since then I've read that the rifle can have cycling problems if they are aligned. <br /><br />I've never had any of those problems, so I'd suggest that you do not align the gaps on your gas rings anymore. <br /><br />Love your blog, by the way.The Broozerhttp://abra-cad-abra.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
