Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gas tube/free float barrel but clearance
Posted: 7/15/2017 10:40:19 AM EDT
Just had a quick question on space necessary between barrel nut and gas tube.  I'm building my first upper with an SLR handguard/barrel nut and noticed that the gas tube touches ever so slightly.  Huge issue, or torque it down and rock and roll?

It is 100% normal, absolutely a non-issue.

If your gas tube indexes with the key good and does not wear abnormally then it is ok.
