Quick update guys: 1) Removed gas block 2) Verified no debris 3) Measured whole to be .89 4) Drilled it out carefully with a .96 sized bit based on barrel length, and gas system length, from resources provided above. 5) Test fired perfectly. Thanks a lot guys this one has been to and fro on the...

@Jackel I might try that. I do have a buffer kit I could use as well as wood replacements for the weight. Trouble is I do not have a quick/easy way to verify/test to get the buffer weight, but the same arguement could be made for drilling out the gas port...

Dont have a reamer, and what would be the "correct" size holes?.

All thanks for the advice. I have not been able to test lock back after firing more the block and blow technique yet. But here is the barrel used...

Do you know the hole size it should be? 1:8 twist and rifle length gas system - if that info helps. I will tear it down and check it out tomorrow to ensure it is clear and the diameter. Update you when I get it tore down.

I did not drill the barrel hole. I assume it would be standard size for rifle length gas system?

Hey guys, I built an AR-15 with a rifle length gas system and a luthar adjustable stock with a rifle buffer. This has a 20 inch SS fluted barrel chambered in .223 wylde. I cannot get this rifle to cycle and I am asking for your help please! To catch you up: I have never been able to get...

A few weeks ago, I was working on an AR-15 lower receiver. It was an 80% lower that I had done the milling on. I found a hole in the lower not wide enought for the detent pin and spring. I believed it was just some paint or other defect obstructing the install. I decided to drill it out...

I want to build a rifle in an M-16 like configuration circa the Vietnam era and was hopping some of you might know sources for parts? I was thinking of the carry handle upper receiver(single piece) with a 22" barrel, rifle length gas system with classic pinned gas block, and bakelite handguard...

I have been away from THR for the past few months and I am heart broken to return to hear one of the kindest and most knowledgeable souls to contribute to this community has passed. RIP Richard, your wit, knowledge, and advice will be missed. It now becomes the duty of the rest of us to share...

I have several AR-15's in 5.56 and I am looking to build a .300 AAC Blackout soon. I am just wondering when an adjustable gas block would be required? Is it only required for when you are considering shooting with a suppressor or for sub-sonic rounds? Can any one add input /clarify? I was...

Can anyone offer advice I am looking to drill and tape a ATI scope mount to a Mosin Nagant 1891/30? How deep do you drill the holes? I have not yet gotten the kit yet so I am in the information gathering phase.

I recently got a 1903A3 and I purchased a new scant stock set(keeping original of course) from Boyds and I wanted some help on how I should finish the stock? I was thinking Gun Stock stain and then several coats of boiled linseed oil? Can I get some suggestions from others who have done similar?

I am asking other Jericho owners for their particular input. As I said I have the manuals what I am asking for is people who have real world experience to share that knowledge, but thanks for telling me to read my books, would have never thought of that!

I just recently got a 9mm Jericho 941. I am looking to shoot 115 grn Jacket Hollow Point and Round Nose bullets with unique. Does anyone have a favorite load they use? Should I be considering a different powder choice? A different bullet weight? Obviously I have loading manuals, I am just...
