    With the size of the end of the muzzle, the hand guard can easily slip over it. If you wanted to change it out. Hell Dave, if you buy it I’ll remove the pin and weld on it as many times as you want to change out the hand guard. No charge...... you want it? Lol!

    The handguard can be removed, but the barrel nut can't. Not without removing the pinned muzzled device.

    I have no interest in that rifle. There are too many questionable things going on.

    Does the ATF know you have an 07 FFL? They're under the impression you have an 01 FFL.

    So what’s the point of this? We just call people liars now? This is the crap I’m always talking about. Unnecessary BS. I would think you need to apologize if he in fact has an 07 after you posted that.

    I have 2 (separate books, separate businesses) One for my Gunsmithing and one for my manufacturing Business. It’s cleaner that way, and might I add, it’s a pretty lucrative business right now. If you need any engraving, I do that as well. On a different note, I wish I would have put more stock into ammo and primers, before the craziness started. I have 55 gallon drums of certain brass. I could be killing it in the ammo market right now.....

    Why even respond to that crap. I don’t blame you for not supporting BS with your companies money. Bet if more companies etc did that they would moderate all of the BS better.

    As a gunsmith, you may want to reinstall the castle nut, since it was installed backwards.

    The point is to make sure people selling items on the board are doing so legally. And I didn't call him a liar. I pointed out the ATF doesn't have his FFL listed as a type 07. If he's got a second FFL, that's great. I'll congratulate him for reasons I won't put here yet.

    Ok, so u asking him about his welded and pinned AR and questioning him about his FFL status was to better bayoushooter. Makes perfect sense now, sure seems like it would have been done over PM by a moderator instead of out in the open. You can label it however you want but it sure seems like a few of you like to attempt to ONLY point out peoples faults. If that get y’all off then more power to you, I was raised a little better than that.

    It was done and continues to be done over PM. There's more to it than has been posted in this thread.

    Considering it's a vital part of the assembly, I would say it's less bashing and more pointing out a flaw in the assembly.

    Being that the castle nut is backwards, I can only assume that it was installed with a strap wrench. It was stated that it is an Anderson lower. Anderson is known for installing their castle nuts with blue loctite, so there is a very good chance that if this is a completed Anderson lower, it wasn't Jake's fault. However, as a gunsmith, I would expect him to have caught the issue and fixed it.

    The receiver extension and castle nut should both have Aeroshell 64 on them and the castle nut should be torqued to 38-42 ft/lbs, then staked in two places per the TM. If it's backwards, it's wrong.

    heck nobody is allowed to mess up once and a while right? whats that old saying thowing stones while in a glass house... or he is without fault cast the first stone.....

    interesting ad... looks like sombody forgot somthing as silly as taking out a set screw before removing a handguard ....silly rabbit :mamoru:



    https://www.bayoushooter.com/forums...Geissele-SMR-Mk8-15-quot-Handguard&highlight=

    Yea, I've messed up plenty. I've learned from a lot of mistakes.

    On that one, I forgot to completely remove the screw prior to reinstalling the handguard. Interestingly enough, it didn't affect anything, because it was simply a cosmetic blemish. The portion of the barrel nut that interfaces with the handguard was untouched.

    I don't see how a cosmetic issue equals up to the improper installation of the component that holds the receiver extension in place.

    not only cosmetic if for some reason the set screw has to index at the same exact spot on the new rifle becasue with the proper Aeroshell 64 and torq spec of 10 gagillion micro pounds the screw will give a improver torq spec becuase of the interface of the screw will be on bare marred steal vs the smooth factory 8620 steel and manganese phosphate coated finish and give an improper torq reading.... wow i almost sounded like a cool kid for a second...

    The set screw in question doesn’t index anywhere on the barrel nut.
