I ordered a 16" Predatar barrel during the Taste of Texas sale and just got around to installing it tonight. I am having trouble getting the gas block aligned, the barrel is relieved for the gas block and the gas block appears to be "keyed" for it but it does not fit.
Should the extra nub on the gas block fit into the slot on the barrel? Does this need to be relieved more or is it supposed to be a really tight fit and "massaged" into place?

I'll jump in before the "hit it with your purse" comments. I believe my factory PredatAR is really tight. I bet your fighting two axis, the tight fit on the barrel and the tight window that key needs to go into. Am I right? Try heating it gently with a small torch they use for copper pipe plumbing or a heat gun and see if that helps maneuver it around a little. I bet it will go.
