Almost..... Still have some parts and all the tools left to purchase. I should be finishing all that within the next 3 weeks, after I get paid.


What parts I still have left to purchase:


1) Buffer and Spring;
2) Gas Tube (mid-length);
3) Flash Suppressor;
4) All the Furniture (HG, Stock, trigger guard, Main grip, forward verticle grip), etc.

5) Triangle End Cap... .750 (I assume I can get it from PSA)?
6) Barrel Nut

7) Castle Nut for stock.


And, all the tools, including:


1) Upper and lower vice blocks;
2) Vice itself (which I'll install on a heavy block of particle board;
3) hammers as needed (ball peen, soft/rubber, etc.);
4) Roll pin punch set;
5) Whatever else, I need.





One question. I assume the end of the gas tube feeds into the port on the BCG. I gather there has to be enough tolerance for the BCG gas port to insert itself into the gas tube after each action cycle. Correct? If so, then it needs to be aligned carefully.


For the 16" length barrel, am I using Carbine or mid-length HG? I recall using the Carbine HG for my LE6920, but it may not be the case, here.


Thanks much.
