My barrel came with very thin washers. Are they necessary for anything?
Who makes the barrel nut you used?
Anyone have a link to the wrenches he is using? About to put a barrel on my .308 build
Did the gas tube line up with the receiver? It was unclear if you demonstated this!
Hello sir! I have an AR10 308 16inch barrel. If I upgrade to an 18inch barrel config will I run into any issues? Will I have to change anything else on the rifle?
Is 40 lbs of torque enough? Or do you recommend a higher torque?
Aren't you not suppose to use the torque wrench to loosen?
I wouldn't use that reaction Rod you're only holding the barrel not the receiver you're talking the barrel nut too
I lap my upper then bed the barrel with green loctite adhesive compound. Little more work but rock solid and will usually improve groups some. Downside is it requires heat to change barrels but that’s not a big deal. But definitely always use never seize.
What barrel wrench are you using?
Great video, is it important to put grease or oil on the barrel extension? And does it prevent corrosion? Thanks
