I love you guys, but here is what happened:
A fella has brass stuck.
44Amp advises to check the headspace, next remove the gas tube. This troubleshoots the problem to overpressure, gas system timing, or chamber roughness.
Everyone jumps on board with their favorite technique for polishing the chamber. Even though it might be fine and we have no report of what the pounded out brass looks like.

Someone should offer to loan the fellow some chamber gauges. Sell them to him and buy them back when he returns them. Then we’ll know that measurement is in spec.

Then pop the gas tube out, and fire a shot with known good ammo. It could be ammo, so try a new box of white box. The case will jam or not. If no jam, it could be the old ammo is bad or the timing is bad.

Hook up the gas tube. Fire a shot. If it doesn’t jam, it’s an ammo problem.

Polishing the chamber won’t hurt but we don’t know if the chamber is rough.
