Help please!! I've been looking around to find a forum where people have done what I did and this is basically the only place I've seen. Anyways when I was disassembling my mossy today I took a look at the gas port system and said to myself that looks dirty! So I proceeded to unscrew the cap on the front with the two big notches in it, and guess what? BAM that thing shot off like a rocket! Needless to say I was surprised but cleaned the big, heavy duty spring and inside it anyways. When I was done I picked up the barrel and a little ring fell out of the gas port system. I thought it fell out the front end so I cleaned it and put it back in behind the spring, then with much force I put the spring back in and screwed the cap back on. Well I tried to reassemble it and the mag tube was catching on the ring so I took it out and put it in the back end because it sorta looked like the ring in the manual and that's where it said it goes. The gun reassembled after that but the back part sticks out more than I remember it used to. So my question what the hell is that ring and which side did it really come out of? The side closer to the muzzle or the trigger assembly?
