If you have an under gassed rifle, the last thing you want is an adj gas block. Adj gas blocks will leak more gas than a standard gas block..
How did you verify the gas block was correctly aligned?
If you insert a cartridge that is known to be the correct size fall out of the chamber easily or does it stick in the chamber..
Do you have an O-ring on the bolt's extractor??
Can you put a cartridge in the bolt by hand and it moves freely in and out?
Does your bolt freely insert into the barrel extension when chambering without hitting any of the locking lugs. Try this very slowly as you cycle the rifle by hand and you will be able to tell..
Does the rifle cycle without problems when done by hand, no rough sections like hitting the trigger?
Did you test the gas tube for cracks or a worn button?
How did you check the gas key?
I like to test all possibilities before drilling a gas port and even then I take my time with the right tools..
If you over size the gas port, then an adj gas block or a way to mitigate the gas will be necessary..
