Yes. Until you get the barrel nut torqued and aligned, you cannot insert the gas tube into the receiver. |

FOLLOW UP QUESTION
How tight does the barrel nut need to be? If I tighten it all the way it seems to be about a little less than a quarter turn past where the has tube needs to go. But with it lined up it doesnt feel snug enough. |

You may have to back off and re-tighten two or three times to get the proper torque and alignment.
I believe the torque spec is supposed to be minimum 30lbs. with a maximum of 80lbs. ETA: Check out THIS LINK |
