Yesterday drove my typical 1:20 to a very long rifle gully at the Second private club I belong to.
The M1A had a mix of its very First anomalies and malfunctions. So bizarre after shooting over 400 trouble-free rounds in this 2022-vintage S.A. M1A Standard. No ****** idea how the “screw” (which allows or blocks gas flow) got misaligned. So bizarre.
This video explains to ensure that your spindle screw's Slot is Vertical. If it is parallel with the barrel and gas tube the gun no will work--unless one's gun is suppressed or You Gots Grenades and a launcher.....
.....sidenote: .It has the same function as the small external gas selector knob —forward—of the FAL rifle's sights.
What a relief today having a functional M1A after simply pushing the screw inwards and turning it. Very simple.
Wrong position in video at 2:24.
Correct alignment at 3:51.
As a side-by-side contrast for normal people, or especially for those professionally--cynical people who believe that most gun advice on the Internet is mistaken…..
Photo from whichever M1A / M-14 Owner's Manual is at 4:55.
