Help please: I have a Belgian FN FAL that sometimes fails to feed. I have cleaned the gas system thoroughly and had the piston re-built to correct dimensions. I have tried every gas setting. I am using mil surplus fmj ammo.

The rifle is in good order.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

You'll have to elaborate on 'feed'. Assuming that you have eliminated magazine faults, feed can only occur once the breech block clears the rear of the next cartridge in the magazine. If it dont, then it won't. And if it don't, adjust the gas so that it does. NOW, if you can't get the breech block to return to the rear I can guarantee that you have a split gas cylinder
