I had difficulty getting a pistol length gas tube that worked. tp555 finally made me one from a rifle length tube.
The next hurdle is to get ammunition that will fit into the case gauge. A chamber gauge is a necessity! I had to run my brass through a small base .223 die in order to get everything to work.
Watch the overall length ... the max you can use will depend on the shape (ogive) of the projectile. Needs to clear the indents in the side of the magazine without pushing the round too much to the center, or you will have feeding problems.
I have been very pleased with Paladin's work and his service! The chambering is lots of fun to play with!
