I just put together a 17-223 AR15, using a Shilen 1-9 twist, SS barrel.
It is 21" long and uses a midlength gas tube.
What is the normal ejection of brass? Should it eject at say the 2 o'clock position or 5 o'clock, or does it matter? I thought I read somewhere that one of those was a sign of too much pressure and maybe an adjustable gas block might be needed? Luckily all my brass ejects and feed just fine so far.
