Gas ring alignment

Has anybody ever set the gas rings to where all three spaces line up? Does the gun short-stroke? I keep forgetting to do this when I’m at the range.

Gas ring alignment will not affect function.

Agreed. When you push the bolt into the carrier, the rings get squeezed a little, and that gap gets smaller. Small enough to be negligible even when lined up.

Closed before it goes south.
