Some Future Modifications..............

Ok, I have been wanting to do some modifications to my M1A rifles, so since the sunset of the Ban 8) I am starting the process.

First, the flash hider on my Loaded is going to get replaced with a bayo lugged version from Fulton and the gas cylinder system is going to get shimmed. In Duff's book, he mentions something about using high temperature, steel impregnated epoxy to ensure the zero doesn't change when disassmbling. What type of epoxy is this and what is the procedure for doing it this way? Also, if the gas cylinder is loose, how do you peen the splines? Can this also be done for the flash hider if necessary?

The Scout Squad will get the Loaded's old flash hider and and the gas system shimmed. Where would I get the feeler gauges for this process at? Hardware, automotive store? I am also considering a Sage stock for the scout squad, does anybody know if the pistol grip on this is replaceable?

I thank everyone in advance for any advice, knowledge or input they have.
