Is this a modified AR? You pull the bolt back yourself or something to
eject the case? You got me curious.

I had a Ruger Mini 14 and thought about modifying it somehow to disable
the gas port and then just manually cycle the bolt to eject/re-chamber
the next round. Some sort of a switch so you could go back and forth
between semi-auto/manual mode. This was way before the internet is
what it is today so I haven't actually went searching for info either...


The 14 is easy to convert. Basically you add a needle valve to the front
of the gas block. It allows you to dial down or shut off the gas flow. I
did it with mine (before it fell overboard) to tame the action. Folks at
the range didn't like getting hit with brass 6 lanes away...

The AR can be modded the same way, or for most folks they just remove
the gas tube and block the port or use a blank barrel.


I never understood the conversion to single simply because you could
start with a good bolt gun and get better results with less work.
But everyone has different tastes.
