So what have I done wrong? It won't tighten any more by hand, and I don't think I have anything with enough torque to move it that last quarter inch or so even if I wanted to, so I must have screwed up somewhere right? |

Nevermind, I discovered the user error. Always read the directions.
Also, as a secondary learning experience, always buy the right length gas tube -_- *edit* Well, I'm not so sure now. I have a 16" barrel, which should require a 9.5" gas tube but mine seems very short. |

Barrel length doesn't determine the length of gas tube you need. Gas system length does. Is your barrel a carbine, mid, or rifle length gas barrel?

Yeah, I think I've figured it out. It's a mid and I have a carbine length. I was following another forums sizes and it said a mid-length is 9.5"

This is why builds usually take a few weeks, unless you have an immediate source for parts when you have issues.
Brownells has Spikes nitrided (I think?) gas tubes for the price of quality standard ones. |

I'll probably just run to PSA tomorrow after work and pick up another one. Should be good to go afterwards... I hope, anyway.
