Now it went straight to it.

Someone around the build area buy it and I'll pay back online.

We are pretty well covered but I have a carbine length gas tube I can add.

Otherwise I'll bring some ammo to the Reunion.

 

[Davetex]

Very cool!!!

 

[EZ-E]

I've got a "seasoned" barrel. And, I just happen to be close.

Is that a carbine, mid or rifle barrel?

 

[Dawico]

I can do the assembly if you want, your call. Stetson is closer if he can do it.

Could knock it out at the reunion IF Dawico has a vise mounted in his dually. Really gotta have a vise to properly torque the barrel nut.

The range MAY have a vise that they would let us use. Wouldnt hurt to ask.

.

I can make a mobile vise happen if need be.

 

[Dawico]

I believe we have a few members that deal with laser etching and/or engraving.

Maybe we can make it very personal.

Is that a carbine, mid or rifle barrel?

Vise ....Dawico
Tools....Dad_Roman....Davetex<now ya gotta come to the reunion>

@Dad_Roman did you catch my post? I can kick in a carbine gas tube if that's what is needed and some ammo.

And we still need a flash hider? I can take care of that.

Flash Hider....roger (With washer pls)

Gotta wait and see what that barrel Vaq has is drilled at to determine Carbine/mid/rifle length tube. Prolly not rifle length but still.

 

[Davetex]

Lookin good!!!

Yes. I see no point in doing anything other than .556 or the Wylde is fine also
Thanks for the list !

When is the Oct. Reunion?

 

[EZ-E]

When is the Oct. Reunion?

12th

 

[Dad_Roman]

Thanks for the list !

12th

My pleasure.

Im worried about the barrel nut vs handguard compatability. Need Vaq, or whoever can provide, to state if he has the barrel nut that goes with the barrel. If its a universal type then it should accept any of the clamp on handguards that have been offered. Also would not need a shim.

Ive run into troubles on a specifically designed barrel nut before that was, admittedly, for a free floating HG. These type have to be properly clocked while approaching the proper torque for the nut. Sometimes takes a shim to achieve that. Dont ask me how I know. Just dont want to get into that kind of bind on compatibility.

[Davetex]

I'll put in for the 12th. Hopefully one of my coworkers will cover the shift. Might be my first reunion.
