Finished a build thanks to Rotorwash109!
Has anyone ever experienced a gas tube alignment issue with the MRP set-up? We installed this brand new barrel on a new previously built upper and the BCG hit the gas tube and didn’t mate up. I had to apply pressure to the tube forcing it up to allow the gas key to slide in. It still has some resistance after tweaking it.  Attached File |

There’s probably still resistance cuz the gas tube is bent now. Check it out. I had a gen 1 chassis I had to send in because of it. |

I had an issue with one of mine. I think the tube must have got bent in the back of the safe or something. Tried to tweak it but didn't just bought a new tube.

The reason for mine was because there was play in the connection between the chassis and barrel. They replaced the bushing. Probably not the case with yours. Maybe the tube was bent slightly to begin with |

Probably not the case with yours. Maybe the tube was bent slightly to begin with We have tried two different barrels both with the same result. MNM567 has a brand new barrel in it now that had to take a slight bend and there is still a bit of friction from the gas key to the gas tube. The only thing that could be out of alignment is the floating retainer for the gas tube in the upper. |

It's gorgeous! I'm jealous I didn't get in on the factory green rifles. Thank you! It is not a full factory canteen green 308. I only bought the upper by itself and was able to add the 5R 16" barrel, BCG, and a re-anodized MARS-H lower after the fact. I'm a sucker for fully ambidextrous guns/lowers so this was icing on the cake when I found that lower last year in the EE

How close is it to matching? It looks spot on in the photograph. Who did you find to do the anodizing? Edit: Never mind. You already answered below. Congrats on the find. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By emtothedee: Is there rotational play or is it pretty fixed once the barrel is fitted in? The barrel is solid in the receiver. LMT suspects it is a bent gas tube. Since I have little to lose with this tube, I manipulated the tube a bit, and it lines up now will little to no friction. I'm going to pull the barrel soon to see if there is a noticeable bend in the tube where I manipulated it. Rifle shoots very accurately!! |

I don't know who did spike's barrels way back when, but my 10.5" is a tack driver. With that unimportant statement, I wouldn't have a problem trusting CMMG's 22 barrels for a conversion as I used one of their 9mm barrels for a build and have had very good luck with it's accuracy. Good luck, should be fun! |
