The armorer took a look at it today. The hammer spring was in backwards(my fault) and the upper was missing the gas tube roll pin(not my fault). The hammer spring explains the misfires and the roll pin explains the short stroking and jams.I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

Awesome.

Now I have to look and see what the gas tube roll pin is

 

[magic man]

Yeah! You got it figured out quickly. You mentioned earlier that you wondered if you had put the hammer spring in backwards. You live you learn, you'll know better next time. What did you think of the 1500? Was it your first time going? I've never been.

It was a good time. I got to put some faces to screen names. Yep, this was the first time I've been. I'm glad I went, but it hurt filling up the gas tank when I got back. If I was closer I'd go every time it came around, but the $60 in gas to go down there isn't worth it.

I believe it's the pin that holds the gas tube to the front sight base.

I traveled up your way this weekend and I'm even futher south than Indy by almost two hours. Spent lots of putting gas in the van. Thankfully we didn't drive the Durmax it only gets 15 to 18 MPG, but it's a heck of a lot of fun ot drive.

The Accord can get into the low 30's, but I tend to be a little heavy on the skinny pedal so I got a little less.
