I have an AR question. I fitted an adjustable gas block to my bang stick. I wound it down to the most restrictive setting, it still cycled with the suppressor on so job done.

Post that I have had a few misfeeds. Typically what happens is that the bolt hasn't slit all the way foward (hasn't closed properly). Occasionally this also happens when I try and close the bolt on a new mag as well. How clean and how lubed the action is has an effect on this as well.

My question is whats causing this. Have I restricted the gas flow too much and it's short stroking or is the buffer spring not springy enough to send the bolt foward and chamber the round?

My first suspsicion is that it's the adjustable gas block because thats the last thing I changed. However this happening on a new mag when I manually close the bolt makes me think the buffer spring isn't springy enough.

Hoping for some useful advice on what the likely cause is from the more experianced AR fans on here.
