| Got my DPMS 16"bull in today..took off the gas block started sliding in the barrel and slam bam! the barrel diameter is slightly larger in behind the gasblock,and hits the inside part of the handguards like maybe 1/8th inch too big. so what should i do try dremeling the inside of the handguard or buy anew handguard? the handguard inside is 1" where the DPMS is slightly over 1" but i forgot how much. will i have this trouble with all bull barrels? should i try a smaller contour? |
The easiest thing to do is to have a machinist turn the barrel down slightly to fit the HG. Or you could bore out the HG to the BBl diameter, but that would leave bare aluminum exposed. Good Luck. Tommy |
