    Adjustable gas blocks

    Any tricks or traps when playing with these ? I'd like to try tweaking mine down a bit, but not sure of any "proper" procedure. Do you try 1/4 turns, 1/2 turns ? or just close it off then back off from there ?
    Any advice much appreciated

    Using the ammo you intend to regularly use
    Turn it all the way off, load one round in the mag and shoot, shouldn't cycle at all. open the gas port little bit at a time repeating until the bolt just holds open on the bolt release. open 1/4 to 1/2 turn more and you are good to go
    Banana, res and Sasquatch like this.

    Set it in cold weather. You dont want to set it up on the hottest day of the year and get to a 3 gun match in winter and nothing works
