Anyone know what the bore size is on the Socom RC/RC2 & KAC NT4? Been curious the difference in bore size between the two and the SB series. Not really sure why I’m interested...just been wondering.

Is my G&R Tactical 10.3" CQB 5.56 barrel chrome lined?
it says so in there description but i found this thread that lays claim to FN and Colt barrels being button broached per TDP. Does that only apply to SOCOM barrels? FN vs Colt SOCOM barrel |

CD I have found the DD and Badger mk12 blocks to be super tight too on a couple white oak SPR barrels. I ended up ruining one of them, used the heating method. By the time it cooled it was not at the right 12 o'clock orientation, or far enough and banged it up and deformed it pretty bad removing it. 70 bucks down the drain. On the second one I ended up taking 1000 grit to the inside and removing the park or w.e the coating was. it did slip on well afterwards, it still had friction for sure, and was by no means loose. IDK if this was the right approach however.. ill try the molly next time. |

To be honest, it ended up making a small superficial scratch on the barrel that I let him know about and he was super cool with it. I actually contacted my guy at DD and he agreed that that particular gas block was just slightly undersized/out of spec which was what cause that particular issue. I ended up having to send it back to DD and they had to send me a replacement. I actually haven't even been able to get any for stock since this happened a few weeks ago. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By pezboytate: I think it's the gas block in your case at least. I've never had a problem with Badger Mk12s and GI barrels. Oh it absolutely was. I had a buddy of mine with one in stock so I was able to get the upper assembled the same day. That gas block was very snug too but didn't cause any additional problems. I actually always test fit gas blocks prior to the final installation. If they go on with what I deem to be excessive resistance, I will lightly coat the ID of the gas block and the OD of the barrel with oil. Once the gas block is on the barrel, I spray some brake cleaner in the set screw holes and clean them out to make sure the Loctite sets up properly. It just seems that you'll get that 1 out of every 100 build that no matter what you do, it just breaks your stones. |

In my experience, the current DD wrench is only going to slip or bend if it isn't oriented correctly (i.e. torquing in the direction of the "closed" side of the wrench rather than the "open" side). Torquing toward the closed side could definitely lead to slippage/bending. I've used mine quite a bit and zero issues. |
