I'm really hoping a non adjustable gas block does the trick, as I don't want to enlarge the gas port or rely on heavy doses of lube. I want to feel comfortable relying on this thing for everything from home defense, to a truck gun on hand if shtf because once I get it to that point I'm probably going to sell my tavor which fills that role to my brother.

Problem solved at last. I finally decided to drill out the gas port a little bigger. Using a 5/64" bit I stepped up from .075 to .077 and that little bit did the trick. Running the adjustable gas block full open this Sunday, I fed steel wolf in single mags to test the lock back and did some rapid fire from mags loaded with 5-10 rounds without a single hiccup. I should have done that sooner.
This pistol is awesome now! Although I didn't shoot any groups I had no problem getting rapid hits on steel at 50 and 100 yards with both the Wolf and some Federal soft point.
I hope this helps anyone else who has a similar problem.

What are the possible problems with a bad lever? Thxs......paulI thought about selling my weapons back to the government, but after a thorough background check it was determined that the buyer has a long history of violence and is mentally unstable. Therefore could not pass NICS.
