Sharpshooter
barrel is LBE 8.5" 300blk. gun has yet to be fired
working on swapping out the rail on my sbr tonight.
upper fully assembled in vice block, start with removing muzzle brake (installed with only 30ftlb and rocksett) barrel twists on me and gas tube bends
son of a ....
unpin gas tube and remove, slide back gas block, try again and barrel TWISTS again! i end up backing off barrel nut and unscrewing the barrel from the chamber piece with indicator pin and remove from upper while that piece is still in upper.
what do you guys think??
will this be safe to reinstall??
and my muzzle brake is still attached and i can't get if off. soaking in water now. so much for an easy swap.....
