Hi Everyone,
I'll be building my first upper in the next week and was wondering if there are any tips/tricks that you guys have to make everything go smoother? I've already assembled the lower, and the parts that I will be using for the upper are: -Complete M4 Upper Assembly from Bravo Co. -ADCO SBR 11.5" stripped barrel -Carbine gas tube -VLTOR SS Low-Pro gas block with set screw -Larue 10" FF I did not purchase a barrel nut or delta ring assembly because they aren't needed with the Larue handguard. I have all of the necessary tools and have taken my other uppers apart and put them back together before. This will all be mated with a BCM auto bcg. I guess I'm just wondering if there is anything different between assembling brand new parts and taking a used upper apart and putting it back together? The only area I am a little concerned with is lining up the gas block. On the VLTOR gas block with set screw, there doesn't need to be a recessed area milled or cut into the barrel for the set screw to "fit" in right? From the information I have gathered around here and other places on the net, I'm under the impression that I just line everything up and then tighten the screw. Am I correct in my assumption? Thanks in advance for any and all information and tips you guys provide. Mike |
