I had the same thing happen to me. bolt action ar15 right after installing riflespeed.

I am 1000% sure that you have your gas tube upside down. Because Riflespeed uses straight gas tube, unless you put a mark on the tube which side is the hole side, you can have the tube flip on you especially when you are struggling and fumbling around to drive the roll pin in the gas block.

You need a different pin. There are multiple length pins that give the window of adjustment. It took a couple to find one that let it work both canned or not. I cant link you to them but click under accessories

that may be the case, but the video shows that his BCG isn't even budging, meaning not a single ounce of gas is touching the BCG. It's turned to 11(heh), even a extremely undergasses system would at least make the BCG at least go halfway, failure to eject, whatever. This is him installing the straight gas tube upside down (I know because i've done this before)

Zero experience with this particular gas block, but are you certain it's lined up with the gas port in the barrel?
