So ladies. It's on to part 2 of this saga. So grab your favorite beverage (either the adult type or your Matt Cross type), a bowl of popcorn, and get ready to be put asleep.
We get back into this story after the week long intermission. We start off with what appears to be a plain Jane AR-10 upper with plastic handguards.
Here she is after yanking (I'm good at yanking) off the flash hider, handguards and standard gas system.
Opposite angle with the delta ring removed, and getting prepped for the new barrel nut.
Here she is with the new handguard and adjustable gas system installed. I'm only referring to it as gas system instead of glass block since it's proprietary to Armalite and the 10 SASS.
And finally, with the new muzzle brake thrown on her, and just a couple other shots.
Other than me going a little heavy on the copper-based never sieze $hit that I use for the barrel nut and the handguard lock ring, she camed together ok. Of course now.......it'll be off to the gun pusher at some point to see what kind of glass that he's pushing these days. I'm thinking of another NightForce, but I know that he doesn't carry those anymore. But I'll at least give him first shot at trying to pry some money outta my wallet first. I try to deal with the local guys first before going off to the faceless, internet. I'll let you all know what I end up with. Then it's getting shipped off to 98 for the paint job for whenever he can fit it in. I ain't in no hurry. After all, the upper that I started with, the box from Armalite was dated 2013.......and the rail/gas system from Pat was dated 2015.
That's all for this installment ladies.
As you were. Carry on.
