I Have a MAS 49/56 in a 308 conversion. I cleaned it to include the gas pipe. I shot about 10 rounds and it stop working. I pulled the trigger and nothing happened.I charged another round and nothing. I removed the mag and inserted 2 other ones. I pulled the charging handle all the way back and i field strip it and put it back together and nothing changed. I also used new ammo in it.

Any ideas on the cause of this issue and a fix?

Thanks
