You need a very fine tip marker or scribe, and a long ruler or straight edge. Place the straight edge on top of the barrel aligning the gas tube slot on the upper with the center of the muzzle. The gas port should be in line with those two points. Mark a line running parallel to the straight edge an inch or two ahead of the gas pot hole. Then measure from the center of the hole in the bottom of the gas block to the end of the gas block where the gas tube enters. Mark the same distance along the center line you already marked on the barrel. Then you can align the gas tube home in the block with the center line and stop at the cross mark.

Of course some barrels have a lip for the blocks to stop at so you would only need to align the center line with the gas tube hole in the block.

What I described sounds a lot harder than it actually is to do. If it isn’t clear, reply back and I will see if I can clarify.

I will try your method and see.

Oh, don't be. I'm sure all of you have "inventories" that would dwarf mine.

Two more items added to mine 2 days ago, awaiting shipment on both. This would "complete" the list of items I lost due to having to sell them. Anything after this would be additional "new" acquisitions.

#1) GSG 1911 .22LR

And #2) Smith & Wesson M & P Shield in a "Bug Out" kit.

I'm a little concerned about #2) above. The seller has been "unresponsive" so far. And I see in his ratings that he has had "F" grades due to that issue, but only 6 out of several thousand. I hope I'm not the 7th. I'll give him another week and then I'll "start the process."

Both of the above now "In Da House!" Still waiting on the P365 to ship. Been 1 week. Won't worry until 2 weeks have passed. But it may affect the rating I give him....

Here is hoping he comes through on his end.

Yes, indeed.

The rules at Gunbroker are specific. A seller has 5 calendar days to contact the buyer (after an auction win and/or "buy now") to make payment arrangements (it is now day 2 of 5). The buyer (assuming it is an auction) then has 10 calendar days to complete payment, and the seller then has 14 calendar days thereafter to ship the product. So, in essence, since I "bought now," and payment has been sent, I guess that 14 day clock has started. We'll see what happens. I dunno. This particular seller has like 4885 A+ ratings, but he does have 35 "F" ratings within the last year. And, mostly, they are for failing to stay in communication with the buyer. I have to wonder whether or not those A+ ratings are fakes. And I know the seller has to contact me because my FFL's cert on Gunbroker has expired and they need the updated one. So I know he has to contact me. All the other sellers have contacted me for the updated FFL Doc, and shipped immediately after I got it to them.

We'll see.

I bought a pistol from gunbroker several years ago and I thought I got scammed because the seller never contacted me or updated the transaction. I put a claim in and that same day I get a call from my FFL saying I had a pistol come in for me. I was so confused because I had never given that seller my FFL info.?.?.?... Anyways, I was happy with the purchase but not once did I get any communication from that particular seller. Good luck bud.

I've discovered the seller has different contact info on a different page within GB so I will try that info. tomorrow and see. Otherwise, I think it's going to be just like you. The 14 day clock has started. After that, I go with GB's resolution procedure.

Update: Both items now shipped with FedEx Tracking, expected to the FFL on 01/14. This will complete my "recovery list."

Looking at one more item and then a parts order for the next build. That should do it for a while. Then we look for more ammo. And we wait and see what Harris/Biden are going to do.

I happen to purchase another Item from this same seller (a non-FFL item). He shipped it same day today. FedEx already picked up the item. So it seems he does a very good job. He just doesn't communicate a lot.
