Well.... that was very uneventful !!!
The PSA barrel nut was a breeze to loosen up on the nitrated upper !!
WD-40'd it let it soak for about 5 min. and a reasonable pull was all it took. ( Heck I have turned bolts tighter then this one )
IMHO, it was snug enough... but not Gorilla'd on like I expected !
JP Vise blocks worked perfectly for this upper.
The barrel freely moved out of the upper.
So much for worrying about some thing needlessly !!
Next, I will true up the receiver face..... most likely "glue / lock tight" the Criterion barrel in place and torque it down.
