Just finished putting this together today. Looking at it again, I noticed the barrel is not centered in the handguard.
Spikes upper White Oak Armament barrel Midwest Industries gas block Midwest Industries Combat Rail The barrel is dimpled and I ensured the gas block set screw hole was lined up with the dimple before torquing. Barrel nut torqued to 40ft/lbs. Also, the gap is uneven between the barrel and handguard on each side. So I don't think it's the gas block making it appear crooked. Is this common? Should I just go shoot it? Should I just leave it alone or contact MI? I hope its not the barrel or receiver. I'll be sad if i have to go back to step 1.

Take a pic from the top down of the entire rifle. I bet its the hand guard. Do you have another hand guard you could swap to check?

did you lap the front of the receiver face?

I had this problem too. Lapped the face to square, barrel centered now.

I guess it depends on how comfortable you are taking the upper apart. If it's easy for you to pull it apart, look at the interface between the upper receiver and the barrel extension. If it doesn't square up, then you'll need to lap the receiver face. If the fit is square, then there's no reason to lap.
I'd shoot the rifle first. If it shoots well, then you have a cosmetic issue, not a functional problem. The amount of windage you have to dial will also indicate whether the barrel's bore is aligned with the upper receiver's rail. Most likely, you have a cosmetic issue with your rail. If that bothers you, send it back. But first you have to figure out whether you do. If the rifle shoots well, that rail wouldn't bother me. For what it's worth, the most accurate rifle I own (a WOA that shoots under .75 moa regularly) does not sit in the center of its Midwest Industries handguard. I really couldn't tell you whether my others do. It's not something I've ever paid much attention to. Also, you'll need match ammo and a decent scope for testing the rifle's function. Shooting 3 moa ball ammo won't tell you anything. Federal Gold Medal Match with 69 grain Sierra Match Kings, Black Hills' .223 loading of 77 grain Sierra Tipped Match Kings, or even Hornady 50 grain V-Max (not Superperfromance) should all shoot well enough to identify whether the rifle has a functional problem. One of the loads should get you 1 moa or better five shot groups at 100 yards with at least a 6x scope with a fine reticle. |

OP, it looks like the barrel is slightly crooked in the upper from your picture of the feed ramps. That would cause the gas block to look crooked in the hand guard even though it is straight on the barrel and the rear screw goes into the barrel dimple.
If you pull the hand guard and barrel nut how tight does the barrel extension index pin fit in the index pin slot of the upper? Thank You Andy MI |

Looking at the barrel in relation to the handguard, there is more gap on one side, than the other. So without even looking at the gas block, I can tell the barrel is not centered in the handguard.
The barrel slides into the receiver with little effort, but there is no discernible movement about the index pin. I can feel the ever so slightest movement, but it's not really even visible to the eye. The receiver seems to stand up find on end. Not sure how to truly tell if something is off. Would torquing to a value higher than 40 make any difference? I've ran into more problems with this "higher end" build than I have with any of my cheaper ones. Even my $100 Combat Armory upper kit went together tightly and is perfectly centered.

I join the chorus in suggesting that this is probably cosmetic and related to the handguard only. Shoot it and report back on accuracy and whether there is any difficulty with the windage adjustment on your scope. Make sure the scope is mounted entirely on the upper receiver and not out over the rail.
If it shoots well and the rifle zeroes without excessive scope windage adjustment from its mechanical zero (center), then your issue is most likely with the handguard, and may simply be the way you installed it. Adjust your scope for mechanical zero. Go all the way to one side on windage. Start counting clicks all the way to the other side. Then divide that number by two and move it that many clicks back to the middle. Do the same for the elevation turret. This is a good beginning point. That way you can compare your upper receiver to the barrel. If the rifle zeroes without a lot of windage adjustment on the scope, then all is well with the barrel. Note, that this will not be exact even with a perfectly parallel upper receiver and barrel, as their is some slight horizontal deflection of the bullet (POI to POA) imparted by barrel whip and by bullet spin. But, you ought not be maxing out windage or anything close to that. A 50 yard zero should do, but go to 100 yards, if you can. There also could be a vertical alignment issue, but based on the photo, I'm assuming the problem to primarily be that the handguard is off to the side, horizontally, in relation to the barrel. The one picture I was hoping to see, someone else suggested; top down view of the completely assembled upper, barrel and rail. That would show the upper receiver slots, the rail upper slots and the barrel all from looking straight down. |

The entire barrel is offset inside the handguard though, not just the gas block. There is a larger gap between the barrel and the right side of the handguard, than there is between the barrel and the left side of the handguard.
Even with the gas block removed, I think it would still be visibly offset. Even if I cut off the index pin, I should be able to spin the barrel in the receiver and it would still be straight in the handguard at any position, no? |

Spikes thinks it's the rail. He also said he does not recommend lapping as too much taken off can throw other things out of spec.
Not great pics, but since some of you asked. Barrel nut is torqued, no hardware on the handguard, but it fits on tightly. Yields the same results as when it was tightened down. I can lightly flex the handguard to center, but don't think it'll stay there if I tighten the bolts. I tried rotating the barrel (before I re-installed the barrel nut of course) while looking at the feed ramps in the receiver and there is not really any discernible movement.

Damn. Looks to me on the pic showing the rail to rail alignment, it's perfect. Which takes me back to the barrel for whatever reason. My mind (
) says if the rcvr or rail were that bad off, the rail to rail mating would be noticeably sucky.

Put it back together, torqueing the barrel correctly, mount and mechanically zero the scope. See if it will zero at 50 or better yet 100 yards. Then report back.
If it zeros without a lot of changes in windage, its the rail. Get with MWI. They will make it right. If it requires a lot of if windage from mechanical zero to zero on the target, then its the barrel extension or the upper receiver face. |

We received the upper parts today. Please understand that all photos/ videos were taken with a phone.
The first thing we checked was our handguard. The handguard was well within our acceptable deviation. The only thing we found with it was one of the M-LOK slots on the bottom where an accessory improperly installed had caused some deformation of the slot. Here is a photo of the slot. 
The next thing we tested was the barrel to barrel extension. There is no issue there. Please see the video.  Testing barrel to barrel extension We then tested the upper. What we found was that the face was substantially untrue and required lapping to meet our standards. Here is a photo after just a little lapping: 
Here is the face lapped to allow the barrel to sit straight: 
We then assembled the upper. The barrel is much more centered in the handguard. The upper was built the way our complete uppers are assembled. 
Only requirement now is for the OP to install his muzzle device before dropping in his BCG and charging handle and the upper is ready for the range. Thanks, PETE |

Thanks, PETE Many of us have been saying for a long time that lapping makes a difference in centering barrels in the rail. Its nice to have a manufacturer's photos and description of a receiver that is not square. Its also nice to see a standard receiver lapping tool sitting in the background. These tools WORK. While a receiver and barrel that sit crooked can still be zero'd there is no functional benefit to leaving them that way. By lapping the receiver I, as well as many others, have observed that the rifle's zero is near the mechanical center of your windage. Every receiver that I assemble gets lapped. All my rifles zero near the center of their windage with in a few clicks. For a OCD builder like me, it's glorious. Great work PETE! |

Just curious how difficult it is after using the included red threadlocker. First time sitting down on the computer and looking at this stuff on a normal screen. Very cool seeing the process. Definitely above my abilities/resources haha Crazy how untrue the face of the receiver was. Why are most receivers not lapped from the factory? Is it more of the finish, or the metal that's uneven? This is the second Spikes product I've had an issue with recently during this build. The other was the bolt/extractor on the NiB BCG, but for what it's worth, their tech handpicked a new bolt and carrier combo and quickly had it exchanged. They made it right, so I'm a happy camper. Just disappointed in quality control nowadays. Regarding the M-Lok ding, definitely my fault. That was after assembling and disassembling the darn thing multiple times in frustration trying to convince myself to just live with the crooked upper. Got lazy and didn't use the FAT wrench that time, and the screw hung up. Oops! Can't wait to finally get this thing to the range. Going to be paired with a Vortex Viper PST II 5-25x50. Locally only have 100yds, but hoping to eventually get out of town where I can open it up further. |
