Here’s a tip so you dont waste time at your next range trip with the Alien. Deep clean the gas chamber with copper and lead remover. You need to use hot FMJ ammo. S&B, WWB, Federal American Eagle, Magtech, PPU, PMC are jacketed bullets. There are a lot of plated ammo that is labeled as FMJ and the plating will come off and deposit lead and copper in the gas chamber which then locks up the piston. Blazer Brass, Federal Champion, Supervel are plated but labeled as FMJ and will lockup the gun. Fiocchi is jacketed but is not hot enough to cycle it.
