very new to AR, so sorry if this is a dumb question, but.... if I wanted to replace the barrel on my AR, or have an armorer do it, so I simply buy a new barrel and swap it out? Do I need a new barrel extension or is that part of the barrel and comes with teh new assymbly? thanks, Dan |

You'llhave a hard time finding/ordering a barrel that doesn't have the barrel extension and index pin installed. Your new barrel will have the barrel extension/index pin installed by the manufacturer. You should probably order a new bolt with your new barrel, or at least know how to check headspace. You'll need a barrel wrench and a torque wrench is recommended. There are instructions posted at the top of the BIY forum. |
