Just a quick question. I got my XLP exchange in the mail yesterday but it won't fit over my barrel. Yes, it's a .75 barrel. I am wondering if anyone else experienced this and what did they do. I sent Cody a message since he is the one that's been helping me...and I really appreciate that. Anyway, I thought maybe the coating they put on it was too thick?

| You could pick up a cheap pair of caliper for $15-30 and see where the ID falls free-state. Also, you can try putting the barrel into the freezer for a few hours and heat the block in your oven at 250F or so. Be careful, use mitt's, space the block and slip her over quickly. |

Actually had this problem with a Bergara I just used for a pistol build. Just had to break out the emery cloth and take it down until it fit. Best fit ever for a gas block though! Wasn't a big deal but took a little while to take it down a few thousandths. This. I used some 1000 grit to slowly take down the inside of the block. Then I tapped it on. Like the above poster said, fits tight for a great gas leak free fit. |
