| I have a new barrel that I am wanting to put a gas block on, I am curious of how I can slide it on without scratching the barrel finish. Any suggestions? Or is it too tight maybe? |

Here is what you can do to be sure to have a clean system. Wear safety glasses!  All that is needed is a very thin layer of grease to lubricate. If need be get a can of gojo or other hand cleaner that will dissolve the grease and use it to clean off the grease, I have used it and it will not harm any part of an AR at all. Finish cleaning with a cotton rag, shop cloth is good. If you have any more to clean you can also use brake cleaner, make sure you do this in a well ventilated area. After install check for the gas port alignment by blowing air thru the gas tube from the receiver end, I have an extended air valve that is made so you can blow air thru the gas system to check for flow. Works and have had a few members watch me align gas systems this way. |
