AR Barrel Autopsy – Crooked Gas Port – Daniel Defense

Oops. We all have made mistakes. I have. That one must have rotated in the jig or the jog came loose. But, they made it right

Isn't aligning pin on barrel extension supposed to go into barrel material preventing barrel extension to rotate?

Can you explain why some ar s don't cycle steel case. What's is likely cause. As for magnetic properties I don't understand how steel does not pick up your magnet you use, the road orange disc?

Wish I had seen this before I ripped into my barrel. My gas port is integrated with the front sight which was slightly canted. I did a farmer fix which worked out fairly well but not 100%.
For the record, my barrel was not DD but a Norc

DD is dropping the ball , i just watched a new ddm4 burn down vid, it lasted 601 rounds in F/A and the barrel pipe bombed right behind the gas block…the gas tube outlasted the barrel, and 600rnds? weak sauce. search it on YT , pretty wild failure

Oh so this dude tried to build an ar. This has nothing to do with the rifles DD puts out

LWRC barrels one piece? All mfg.are like that..idk..thank you sir

I know this video is 4 mths old, My Question is: Why would my BCG jam against my Forward Assist. This happened during the very first rounds went thru it. It is fixed now, I replaced the old FA with a new one. Was the Issue caused by not enough lubrication, since I basically just took it out of the box. Any answer is helpful.

I had no idea the barrel extension actually came off. I thought it was a solid piece, and the name extension was just one of those weird things lol.

I love this channel. I'm a huge AR fan, and have built two of them. This channel is extremely informative.

These videos are very educational.
I admit to being jealous of your tool and guage inventory. 😅

I had this happen to me, so I bought a steel gas block and used a dremel to open an offset intake in the gas black and the rifle hasn't jammed since.

I accidentally went in the wrong way once and my girlfriend had a crooked gas port after that 😂

Garbage rifle company, hates your second amendment rights. Get bcm

Holy yikes……

Thanks! Learned a lot.

I have a 14.5 Daniel defense mid length barrel and it's fantastic.

Just make a couple minor bends to your gas tube! LOL

Wow, that’s didn’t know all those gauges existed. I subscribed.

Wow , now I never considered a gas port might be drilled at an improper angle/direction other than straight down /right angle to the bore.

Could one take material off of the barrel mating face on the shoulder of the extension to fix this problem?
Like lapping with some 200grit on flat glassware?

I love Daniel Defense stuff. They have always taken care of me no questions asked.

Whats your thoughts on KAC SR15 and the URX4 handguard? Would you say it is a sturdy rail system for lasers etc?

I thought those index pins were drilled and pressed in After torque and headspace?

damn daniel defense huh?…..pretty rare occasion right here

I have a 6mm arc ballistic advantage barrel but haven’t used it yet. It has hexagonal rifling that almost looks crooked. I can’t tell if it’s skewed because of the rifling shape and creating an optical illusion or if it really is jacked up. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Would like to know how to fix this issue, besides sending the barrel back to the manufacturer.

exllent job and great pointers

Would it be ok to just drill a new gas port in the correct location?

I was under the impression that the indexing pin went through the barrel extension and into the barrel to prevent it from rotating, similar to a pin and weld muzzle device. Are there any barrel manufacturers that do this?

I know that no manufacturers are 100% perfect, things happen. I'd hate to pay good money and find an issue like this. It did happen with a Ruger 10/22 of mine back in the late 80's The dam thing kept stovepiping . The gun store wouldn't exchange it but Ruger sent me a new one that's still running flawlessly.

someone forgot to tighten it.

My personal experience with Daniel defense DDM4V7 GREAT RIFLE . COSTUMER SERVICE IS AWESOME
