Sorry it's taking so long, but there is light at the end of the tunnel... and it's not a train coming in the other direction!


I expect the next build will go a lot smoother/quicker from what I've learned on this one.

The first one is always the harder one.

GunBroker. There were several that were cheaper (under $1K) but on auction, and there were a lot of bids on them. In the end, I found one that did meet my "Buy Now" threshold so I didn't have to bid on it. The problem being, the closing time would have been while I was at work, conducting classes. I would not be able to watch the auction minute by minute and be ready to counter any sniping. And, of course, I'd not be able to do my own "sniping" at 16 minutes prior to close...


I'll bid on something if the "Buy Now" price is way outrageous and/or the auction close is during a time I'm not teaching.

Did you mount the gas block to the barrel yet? I found an easy way to align it.

You need a very fine tip marker or scribe, and a long ruler or straight edge. Place the straight edge on top of the barrel aligning the gas tube slot on the upper with the center of the muzzle. The gas port should be in line with those two points. Mark a line running parallel to the straight edge an inch or two ahead of the gas pot hole. Then measure from the center of the hole in the bottom of the gas block to the end of the gas block where the gas tube enters. Mark the same distance along the center line you already marked on the barrel. Then you can align the gas tube home in the block with the center line and stop at the cross mark.

Of course some barrels have a lip for the blocks to stop at so you would only need to align the center line with the gas tube hole in the block.

What I described sounds a lot harder than it actually is to do. If it isn’t clear, reply back and I will see if I can clarify.
