Obviously I’m not a gunsmith that’s why I’m here seeking help.I have a newer BAR MK3, with an adjustable gas block.
So I found a good video on how to completely disassemble a BAR. I did that cleaned it in an ultrasonic parts cleaner (parts that would fit). While it was apart I spray painted the barrel only. I taped the gas block off really good multiple layers as not to get paint in there. Reassembled, function test. Everything was good. Then test fired, goes bang like normal but won’t eject. I thought maybe it was the gas block that needed tuning even though I didn’t touch that at all. So I went from tight all the way out to 8 full turns in 2 full turn increments (10 full turns is max). All fired none ejected. So now what? Or what did I fuck up?
Edit: I’ll add that before I took it apart it would cycle whatever ammo I threw at it flawlessly. Never had a single failure to eject or short stroke. Probably 300 rounds down the barrel.
