Well Bill you did post the following AFTER you said "I appreciate all of the advice and AM taking it seriously."

This was your last post...right before we wondered why you weren't willing to try what many suggested.

A.m.......will keep u posted what I find out........i like JLA's observation about the possibility of the slots on the gas rings not being offset. Could that cause the spent shells coming out of the gun Luke warm? (as well as the barrel)
