I may have a problem on my hands here. i have a 16" carbine that i built from a JT kit. i am cleaning my carbine right now, and i have it all stripped down. i have the stripped upper in my hands and i am holding it in my hands. i notice that when i hold the barrel and the upper reciever, i can rotate the barrel back and forth ever so slightly making a slight "clink" noise. it only rotates a few thousandths of an inch but it definitely rotates. i am holding only the barrel and only the reciever, nothing else. not the sight tower or hanguards or anything. the handguards are removed actually. do i have a loose barrel or something? shouldnt these two parts not budge at all?! please help as i am afraid to fire my rifle like this what should i do? -Spaceman |

Are you saying that you have the barrel removed from the upper or just the handguards removed. If this is so then that is normal to have a slight movement. If you have not taken the upper apart, then something does not sound right. If the latter is the case then I would like to see the upper to check everything out. Jesse |

hey i have an idea about my loose barrel. if the only problem i have is the barrel is loose, then all i need is a barrel wrench and a vice right? how about instead of you guys eating the shipping and insurance on my upper, i just buy a barrel wrench from you and you cover the shipping on that? then i can re-set the barrel myself. and maybe you guys could include a little dab of moly grease or whatever you use so i dont screw up the threads. just an idea. let me know. -Spaceman |

just got the barrel wrench a few hours ago and went to work. easy as cake. i pounded out the gas tube roll pin in about 20 seconds, removed the gas tube, much less of a pain than i thought it would be, and then i put my barrel in a vice with an old belt wrapped around it and tightened the barrel up. took me a little while to get the nut lined up so the gas tube would go through, but i got it all sorted out. piece of cake. havent shot her yet, but it worked just fine before, and i havent really changed anything, so i dont see why it wont work again. ill post a range report later. might be a while. its like 10 degrees right now, yikes! -Spaceman |
