smokestacking gunsmith term

The term is actually "stovepiping", and causes vary far and wide. Short stroking of the action due to an improper fitting in the gas system might be one reason, or it could simply be a weak extractor. It may be an issue of difficult extraction due to residue in the chamber (especially if you're using lacquer coated ammo, or have used it in the past without cleaning the chamber).
