My woes with the MWS platform continue... after buying a $450 LMT barrel from someone only to have it fall out during transit (and the seller won't take responsibility) I ended up buying a brand new LMT SS barrel to have ADCO cut down to 16".
Well I finally got my $750 barrel ($1200 if you count my earlier loss!!!) from ADCO today and I try to thread on my brand new Surefire MB762K-211C brake and it only threads on about 10%. I read around and people say to just crank it down and thread it on with the wrench. I manage to get it all the way to measure how many shims I'll need and then I removed it. I put on the shims and started putting it back on.. got about halfway and the fucking thing is stuck. I can't move backwards or forwards. It feels like the threads the barrel got deformed and now it won't back up or move forward. The barrel is spinning in my vice now.. must be giving it 60-70lbs of torque before the barrel starts to spin. Any ideas on how to proceed? (There's no gunsmiths on island where I live.) and shipping costs $20 each way cause the barrel weighs 10lbs. Feeling pretty fucking depressed right about now!

Sounds like the threads were oversized, you probably shouldnt have cranked it on. Next time if it doesnt fit at first, send it back to us. Please send it back im sure we can get it straightened out to your satisfaction.  Just email [email protected]

Will do, thanks man. Not looking forward to another $40 in shipping costs but it seems I have no choice  we'll cover your shipping. Our threads are purposely on the tight side. If you have a muzzle device alson on the on the tight side, things may bind... |
