Ended up having to tap the gas block with a brass hammer tight to the barrel shoulder, tweaked the gas tube so there was minimal contact with the gas key. thinking the main issue is cheap gas block and tube, will be ordering a new gas set up
That is interesting, usually I recommend to bump the gasblock forward off the shoulder. To mimic a two-piece handguard front cup spacing, in order to line up the gas port to the hole in the gas block.
