Okay this is a bit confusing so I will try to make it as clear as possible:
You know when the bolt carrier is in the forward position with the dust cover open? You know how you can see 2 vertical holes? When you charge the bolt, I think like half way back you can see the gas rings become visible for a split second, meaning I guess the holes are moving past them. My question is, when you reassemble the bolt carrier group after cleaning it, do you HAVE to position the gas rings to where the 3 "openings" SHOULD be lined up with those 2 holes I mentioned earlier? I don't mean lining up the 3 SPACES in between each gas ring, because I know that the spaces are NOT supposed to be lined up on the bolt itself; I'm talking about the part that is visible through the 2 holes when you charge the fully assembled upper. The reason I ask is because obviously the 2 holes are there to release the gas from the gas rings (thier purpose), but I am worried because I think that if the spaces in between the gas rings are not aligned with the 2 holes, then gas won't dissipate properly and my gun will jam up...Am I being paranoid? Is this something that I should have already known...? HALP
