I couldn't log on at FAL Files, so I thought I'd cast my line here, until I get that sorted out. My FAL carbine is leaving a deep vertical mark on the case head. Viewed from the side, it appears that the rim is being bent back towards the bolt by the extractor. I adjusted the gas open to the point of barely cycling, but it still deforms caseheads. This rifle is a metric rifle kit built on a new Imbel receiver & 16" para barrel. The kit components were original parts, designed for a 21" barrel. This gun is accurate and fun to shoot, but is destroying my brass, and I'm just trying to get an overview of what could be the problems.
I just pulled the aftermarket gray plastic recoil buffer out. Maybe that's the problem. Also looking at different sized gas plug, or different recoil springs. Thanks for any feedback.
