I've got a question...

I have the quad rail off of my rifle and now I have the muzzle brake, the gas block, the gas tube, and the barrel nut on there.  Instead of taking off the muzzle brake, then the gas block, then the barrel nut...

Is it possible to just remove the pin from the gas block and then push the gas tube into the receiver a bit more and then pull it off of the gun?  Really the only two things that I need to remove are the gas block and then the barrel nut... because the KMR will slide over everything else without an issue.

Yes, I have put together an upper or two before, no it has been way too long for me to remember if there's wiggle room to push the gas tube back into the receiver.

If your muzzle device is pinned or not removed, how do you plan to get your gas block off?

how will you remove the gas block without removing the muzzle brake?

Barrel nut won't fit over any gas block ive ever seen.I just installed mine and while you can remove a gas tube through the rear  you'll still have to pull the gas block and muzzle brake  to install the rails barrel nut
