| Has anyone had to use a shim with a LaRue barrel nut. Was trying to tighten one today but it just wouldn’t line up. If you did, what is a good source for buying some? |

Use grease, tighten and loosen three times. Then try again in progressive numbers. If you arent using an action rod(assuming you are), you should be. |

I’ve taken the torque all the way up to 70 and the situation never really improves. |
