Pressure created from the burning propellant that forces the projectile down the barrel. There are several factors that contribute to proper cycling in a FAL.

Method, which has, we think, proved itself the There are several different ways of finding theД¬orrect adjustment but we suggest the following Stay away from the Indian ammo that Cheaperthandirt and places sell, it is dangerous garbage. The Argentine and Portuguese( FNM )ammo is okay albeit a bit innacurate. The best 7.62x51 out there are Australian and South African. Save it for a bolt gun or a Walmart rifle. The stuff at Walmart is too expensive and not suitable for use in military rifles. Yours might differ.ДЄmmunition has a lot to do with the gas setting as well. my L1A1 will work down to a '7' gas setting. the empty cases should land closer as the gas port is opened further until at one point the rifle will not cycle anymore.ДҐ) set gas one before the number at which it stops cycling ( i.e. there should be considerable recoil and the empty should fly out in the blue yonder about 5 meters to your rightД¤) now set gas to one ( 1 ) and repeat above. My -guess- is that I need to fiddle with the gas nozzle (I forget the proper word).Дoes anyone know an easy way to gauge how much gas pressure I need to be setting this rifle to fire with? Possibly a way that doesn't involve shooting it? (Long shot, I know, but I rarely go to WW FWA and there are no public rifle ranges closer.)ДЎ) with rifle unloaded and on safe ( of course ! ) set gas to zeroДў) load 1 round in magazine, insert mag and chamber round ( never ever feed by hand into the chamber as this does not allow the rifle to properly cycle )ДЈ) fire. (I have 5 magazines for it, though I only sent 3 with it, so only 3 are fixed )ДЄnyway, I got back to the range with it just today, and while the three magazines worked properly, I did note that after the first 20 shots, I started having failures to follow again, though this time it was that the bolt wouldn't follow through all the way. I got it back, and was told that it was a problem with the magazines not being properly fitted to the rifle. So I took it to Ludco Gunshop over in Parker City and had him send it to a gunsmith. He had never fired it before, and had bought it from an old friend.ДЄnyway, I took it to the range at Wilbur Wright FWA for the first time late last year or early this year, and I found that after every shot, the magazine would get jarred loose and would fail to feed the next round.

So I bought an R1A1 from a coworker last fall.
