i picked up a used 11.5” caracal piston upper locally for $700 and really like it. it shoots well, is soft shooting and plenty accurate
the only thing that bugs me is the gas adjuster gets carboned up pretty fast, 400 rounds and doesnt want to rotate without pliers or a rod in the loop.
has anyone one put 2000 rounds on one without cleaning the gas plug? will it eventually freeze up if i dont keep it cleaned?
i cleaned it out today and put some high temp caliper grease in there and might try copper anti-seize compound next.
somewhat disillusioned because my LWRC’s dont need cleaning, at all.
