Just got my gas cylinder from hueygunner. Talked on the phone with him the other day, good guy lots of info to share. Well got my gas cylinder today, set about putting it back together for the first time.
While my gas cylinder was gone I bought the shims from FA. So I put the gas cylinder on as far as I could by hand, tried to put a allen wrench through, doesn't go through. Tap it back a little bit with a rubber hammer. Allen wrench goes through, try a bigger allen wrench doesn't go through. Tap it a little farther back try the bigger allen wrench still doesn't go through. So I decide maybe the bigger allen wrench is big enough to fit through the gas cylinder hole, but not the hole in the barrel.
Now I put the gas cylinder lock on it's finger tight at 3 o'clock. Try tightening with the gas cylinder wrench, lock goes to 6 o clock, it could go a little further but feels pretty snug right now. Ahh why bother with the shims it seems good to me Put everything else together.
Should've waited to contact hueygunner, he said he'd walk me through it. But the weather's going to be great tomorrow, so I was in a rush to put it together for the range. . What do you guys think, did I make any big mistakes?
