Hello everyone,
I just got a bunch of parts in for my first build and I need a little help here. I've been fitting parts to see how they fit into place and I have trouble fitting what I believe to be a GI Gas tube to a Krieger Heavy Barrel. The Keyed Threaded portion will slip over the threads but that's where it stops. The gas tube won't go any further. There's another 3/8" to go before the gas tube aligns with the gas port.
Is it common for the GI gas tube to be a super tight fit with the Krieger heavy barrel? I'm thinking that I may have to take it to a lathe and use some fine sand paper to bring the outer diameter some.
Thanks for the help!
