    Sending it back is really cheap.

    Unless they send you another bad one, of course. Some sellers don't have any gages, or don't use them. Time spent measuring, complaining, shipping and waiting is time you didn't spend building or shooting.

    An out of spec part can ruin your day.

    I’d move away from you at the range....
    Ha. Let's see, wear face shield, heavy gloves, and then ... hey guys come stand right next to this while I shoot it. Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I said "carefully". ;)

    Well got the new (replacement) barrel and it closed on a the go gauge a little tighter than I wanted but I will take it easy with some .223 the first 100 or so rounds before loading in the 5.56
