I have seen several companies selling barrel extensions.  I am building a new AR with M4 profile barrel.  Is this a part that I will need?  I have been using the tips on how to assemble an AR that were tacked, but don't see anything about a barrel extension...Thanks

If you boght the barrel after-market or from one of the ABC companies, you should be fine.   You would only need the barrel extension if you were turning your own barrel.


If you look all the way to the left of this pic, you will see the barrel extension (under the barrel nut).  This is where the bolt locks up.

Barrel extensions are NOT user installable parts.  They are for barrel makers ONLY.... or experienced gunsmiths.

If you are asking this question, you do NOT need it.  It will come on any barrel you buy.
