OK Thanks. I gather the gas tube enters that little "cross" at the top of the upper and that will align it.


Anyway, I now have the lowers, FCG and the Andersen lower matches its upper perfectly. I gather the buffer spring detent is part of the LPK, correct? Otherwise, I'll have to buy that as well. I'm looking at my YT videos on assembling my uppers/lowers to see if there are any other parts I need. I'll get them in mid-October.



I'm having a little trouble finding the barrel nut (the one in the picture you listed) that goes with the MAGPUL M-Lok HG. I'll call MAGPUL to see if it's included with the HG. Now, does that barrel nut include the delta ring or is that another separate purchase?

EDIT: MAGPUL does *not* include the barrel nut with it's HGs, as verified by a MAGPUL rep. He also said they don't sell them separately, either. He did indicate that any std. barrel nut and delta group (springs & retainer clip, etc.) will work.


So I'll order those separately.
