Quote History Quoted:
Douglas recommends trimming the breech to fit the gun. I'm not surprised.
I guess it's do it yourself if you have a lathe. It's not a screw it on proposition without some more work, and there is still a possibility of work beyond that will be needed.

Well thanks to your post, I was able to grab a flashlight and recover the instructions from the trash bin last night before this mornings pick up. Suprisingly they were folded up very small and
wrapped into the newspaper that was around the barrel.
It looks like your right. This is a DIY project if you have your own lathe, and can be even more complex. Since I don't have one, I'm going to have to take it, and the instructions to the local
gunsmith with some go/no gauges. It makes sense that I should just have him remove the barrel also instead of spending money on an action tool when he has one. I'll post an update as to how
big of a deal the work turns out to be for the gunsmith. Funny how something that looks like it would be simple is so complicated, and putting together an AR which looks complicated is so simple.
Thanks again for all the help. Below is a copy of the Douglas instructions FYI.
