I have decided to convert my 20" Colt Sporter Match HBAR A2 over to A3 config. and I also ordered a bunch of extra stuff for it. I figure why not go ahead and build the thing completely now.
I have these parts coming in: upper vice block, DPMS armorers tool, Samson MRFS-R forearm, YHM bipod mount, and a TD VFG coming in. Already have the complete A2 rifle plus a Colt A3 upper receiver here as well as a Harris bipod.
Now my question is, can I get a couple tips on switching out the barrel on my A2 receiver to the A3 receiver and also installing the forearm? I'm sure that there are a couple of little tips that will save a headache or two and I'd LOVE to know them. I've already studied the DIY post on barrel swapping and that entire post is as good as gold, but I'm sure there is some little problem I will run into.
Any of you pros out there care to give a tip or two so I don't have to beat my head off the wall for something simple?
Thanks is advance!
