Building 12.5 Pistol!

Hi,
Decided to build a 12.5 Pistol as something a little easier to carry in a truck or an around the house defense weapon.

Most that I saw at my LGS were expensive and did not have what I really wanted in the build.

I had a Tactical Machine Lower left from 3 I purchased at one time.

Faced the upper EXPO receiver, to get everything as straight as possible, removed about .005 to get square and flat face.

I show a pic of the upper on a flat mill vise with a square, this proves nothing for accuracy of course, but was just curious and in for the education.

Hi,
I guess it is just another thing to do to maybe keep one part from effecting another.

In my World heat expansion is probably not a factor.

However, the sling tension was a point and maybe lights installed?

I'm still building, so did it while easy.

Seems some rail makers mention it and some don't?
It will make a difference on follow up shots you are mounted to barrel nut which is a transition piece, chamber is in the barrel not the receiver so heat, and extraction can cause a shift. . Also check barrel nut after 100 rounds this is not a 223 have had correctly torqued nuts loosen on an Alexander Arms upper ,what made me check point of impact was changing with each shot
