| I just put another upper together and ran into a small issue thats driving me a bit nuts. I have the barrel nut tightened up pretty good but am not quite in perfect alignment with the gastube. I gave up for last night but think I may be able to budge it ever so slightly to get it right and thats a big "think". Its pretty snug thus far. If I were to back it off and then retighten it a bit less I feel as though it will not be tight enough. I lubed the threads and mating surfaces with some moly grease. I just don't want to got too far as I don't trust aluminum threads. I have never had this problem before. Any suggestions? |
| You both did. Unfortunately, I've done it several times so I figure I'll just give it a shot again and hope it works. Otherwise, I need it to really turn another 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch and I am there. The gas tube goes in but would have to be held straight. That, to me, is half assed and plus I am pretty sure the carrier will get hung up on it. |
from what i read this sounds like you are taking the bbl. nut completely off and starting over each time. |
