Did you even read the story in this link? It's not about the comedian shooting a movie, it's a completely different story

Well if the new tube does't fix it I'll be buying the 2 piece GB

The RTV would be the worst option, if its even an option

I hope the new gas tube fixes it. If it's the block then I will have to cut it off and get a 2 piece. There is no way in hell that I am destroying that muzzle brake. Worse case scenario, anyone try a high-temp RTV or fire barrier caulk around the tube to block connection point?

My comment was about this article http://www.nj.com/gl...ver_mobile_home​ This was a BB gun not an airsoft. I am well aware of the difference.

Yeah, the gas tube did go in pretty easy. Just ordered another one, we will see what happens. Thanks guys for all your help, I really appreciate it.

But what about the leak, is that normal?

Ok, so I ran a leak test today. I basically blocked off the breach using a spent casing and the BCG, I then put a straw in the muzzle and taped it and the MB with electric tape. I then blew compressed air into the straw at about 110psi while pouring oil on gas tube at the GB and as you can see from the video, it is leaking profusely. I am thinking that the combination of this leak and the aligned gas rings caused my problem. Looks like it's time to order a better quality gas tube, any suggestions? https://youtu.be/NDiIYTuNvPE

which LPK did you use? I used a cheap AR-Stoner LPK and the bolt release catch is loose in my spikes lower, moves a little side to side.

Here is a Samson EVO 7 EX on a Stag Model 8 (piston) with a 16" barrel

Am I reading this wrong or did the cops call it an "imitation firearm"? I thought BB guns are firearms in NJ. Has the law changed for the better and I didn't notice?

I checked the brass, i don't see any signs of overpressuser. But i did notice some horizontal line, is it getting stuck in the chamber?

Ok, I get the lying part, I was just fuzzy on the thermal drift part. So eotech's thermal drift, although apparently expected, is much worse than other quality optics. Got it, thanks.

Everything was lubed, BCG, inside of upper, buffer tube, but you are right, the bolt did appear dry up pretty quickly, I used MPRO-7 LPX which is what I use on everything thing else, which grease should I be using? I do have all the brass, at first glance it looked fine but I will check again more closely tonight. I did notice some minor scratches on the of the brass nothing on the rim. But unfortunately I won't be able to get back to the range for another few weeks.

This is my first DI gun so my knowledge is minimal but I read that the aligned gas rings will make a problem worse but not cause the problem in the first place. Again from what I've read

and this, I should have checked this first

Look what I found. So how do I stop the leak, new gas tube?

After only 15 rounds?

I hope its as simple as the gas block and tube. I need to figure out a way to plug the muzzle so i can run air thru the barrel to find a leak.

I don't have another di bcg, i need to figure out a way to check for leaks

Yep, that was me

Ok, the build is done, and I'd like to thank Steve at Monmouth Arms for helping me out last minute with a muzzle brake issue. Some things have changed from my original list of parts, here is the final list: Spikes upper and lower Samson EVO 15" forearm BCM buffer, spring, and buffer tube BCM CH VOLTR EMOD stock Geissele G2S trigger Ballistic Advantage 20" 223 wylde 1:8 twist, rifle length barrel, low-pro gas block Lantac dragon MB Cryptic Coatings BCG magpul MBUS sights ergo grip harris bipod aero precision scope mount weaver kaspa 1.5 - 6x scope Pics below. I took it to the range this morning and got extremely pissed off. It is short stroking each and every shot, and it only got worse with every round. Ok, so what should I be looking at? What can be the possible cause or causes?

I really didn't want to get into this debate, but i'm not here to offer any opinions. Just a question, with what trijicon just put out is the negativity towards eotech due to their quality or because they lied? Also, are we now being told that all optics suffer from thermal drift?

That's not a bad idea, I have a 5 quart jug of Mobil 1 0W40 that I used in my VW. VW is gone now and the camaro doesn't like 0W40. Might as well give it a try, 5 quarts will last for ever.
