I'm in the middle of my pistol build, and I'm getting ready to assemble my upper. Barrel and gas system parts should be here this week. Assuming no problems with the order, is there anyone who'd be willing to borrow/rent/assist me in installing my barrel, as I don't currently have a vise block or reaction rod type tool? I'm in I.C.

Thanks guys.

It's not a wasted trip...It gives you a chance to meet up with the CCA crew and test fire your rifle on the spot. Not to mention Michael can let you know if your rifle has any problems.

Being able to test fire and spot check any issues with quality gunsmiths right there is a big help.

When I did my 7.5" AR pistol, it wasn't ejecting right, took it back in, tweaked it a bit, and it was running like a top. Had I done it myself, I'd have wasted a range trip test firing, then getting online to figure out the issue, or take it to a gunsmith, then another range trip to test fire.

Michael pinned my 5.45 barrel for me and I am pretty sure he test fired it too.
