TROOPER

So my new rifle took a big wet crap on me over the weekend

Picked it up from the gunsmith on Saturday, after he pinned the barrel and did the upper build for me, and polished the feed ramps.

So I took it to the range on Sunday to test fire and zero the iron sights, before zeroing the red-dot.

Got the first round off and was very surprised the sights were almost spot-on zero.

Pulled the trigger a second time.. and... mis-fire...
Waited 30 seconds, tap, rack, and fired again.. right on target

Went to fire again.. and mis-fire.. WTF?

Well turns out it was not cycling, so after a little diagnosis I find out the gas system is completely blocked, and no gas was being return to recock the action

I spoke to the gunsmith, who says he test fired it before I picked it up.
After he test fired it, he normally removes one screw at a time on the gas block to add loctite. Then leaves it laying down on a bench to set.

I'm told that after he put the loctite on the day before I picked it up, someone moved it and the loctite had probably got into the gas system and set hard.

He was really good about wanting to fix it for me, saying he would meet me Sunday even though the store was closed, so he could fix it.
As he's going to Delaware for the week, but I had plans in the afternoon, so I couldn't get it fixed.
