![]() Oddly enough, quite well. The tube and block are now aligned, with the roll pin flush and in place. And I was able to blow on the tube and feel the air jet with my finger inside the block. so I know those holes are aligned. The way I did it was to align the tube into block by the "paper clip" method as described. Then, I taped the tube with Scotch tape directly onto the block, which did anchor it enough for me to keep the tube aligned and get the roll pin started. A little "Liquid Wrench" in the right place after I had the pin 2/3rds in place and, after a few minutes, the roll pin went right in. The bad news is, when I was doing this, I forgot that the BCG is not fixed inside the upper and both it and the charging handle came right out! ![]() ![]() That said, I want to go over something I mentioned in my last update but got no bites on it. ![]() I want to get at least 2-3 "action tests" in before I go test fire it with live rounds on a range. The issue is going to find a module I can use to fit into the barrel to give it the "test shot of air." I also need to know what PSI would be optimal. Does anyone know what the standard PSI rating is for an xm855 green tip fired from the barrel? Thanks all! I'll keep you posted. ![]() Last edited by FfNJGTFO; 01-02-2021 at 11:16 AM. |
