welcome skinless, I also looked at the Millet and many more for a long long while before deciding on the Vortex when I found a good deal. Iv also heard the swfa SS fixed power ones are a real good bang for buck if your into fixed power that is.

Hopefully this isnt to late of a response but I think anything within the same month is acceptable lol. I picked up an atn for a pretty good price used and didnt know how I should sight it in so I called and they said to use the lens cap with the hole in it like the previous poster said but they didnt mention whether prolonged use in daylight was ok or not. I understand that this scope in the link isnt a third gen and the one I picked up is but mine is pretty clear at night, although I have heard mixed reviews about ATN products.

Missed the first part Dusty, it is a low pro gas block from YHM with a 12 inch FF tube from YHM. The tube originally came on a Fulton 22 inch upper I bought but I replaced it with a troy MRF 13.8 because I wanted an uninterrupted top rail then I used the YHM on this new build, I like the look of longer tubes on carbines that cover the gas block. The lower is from the Fulton 22 inch upper I just put it on here for the purpose of the pic.

I just read this post and tried it and it worked so i thing everything should be good to go. this was a pretty good idea thanks dusty

I looked at everything with my flashlight and things seem to be ok and lined up, the items I bought are the correct parts so im assuming, which I hate to do, everything will work that way it should. Unfortunately I wont get to test this until after this semester.

disgusting information >:( if it wasnt for the year round nice weather I would leave this god awful state in a heart beat...and most likely will leave after school

Welcome, looking forward to seeing pics of the rifle

I appreciate you looking at your own rifle for me, I will measure it when I get a chance tonight and compare to yours. Its not the Sass, its the 16 inch with a .750 seat. Ill also try what you suggested johnny, if what I have here is close to what you guys have im gonna shoot it when I get the chance and hopefully all goes well. Thanks again gents, this is the quickest and most helpful forum im part of.

ok so the bcg and handle dropped in fine, this is the gas block at a credit card space away from the lip and how far the gas tube is sitting in the receiver. added after seeing the post: not what I wanted to hear lol but not a huge problem either, I didnt know those indents were put on by someone. I will shoot him and email in a minute and ask what was on it

uploading the pics took so long you already replied washguy, the barrel and bcg are new but take offs (what I was told), I already torqued the barrel nut so I will do as you suggest, I have the FF tube and gas block back off and ill redo and let you know. thanks for the quick responses. ill post another pic here in a minute after its together

Its all different parts, this was supposed to be a budget build so I seen a good deal on the barrel and bcg, both Dpms and got those then bought a yhm low pro gas block and fulton upper. Is there any way to know how far the tube should sit in the upper receiver? The pics of thew gas tube in the receiver are with the has block pushed tight against where the barrel gets thicker, you can see the screw tore up the metal a bit on the one indent on the barrel. The other pic shows how the screws wont line up with the indents.

good afternoon gents, figured id ask the experts a quick question. So my barrel, bcg, gas tube and block arrived today. The barrel is a DPMS 16 inch I got a pretty good deal on along with the bcg and it has the two indents for set screws on a gas block. Now would it be safe to say that with the barrel indexing pin seated and barrel nut properly torqued I can put the gas block on the barrel and everything will be fine? The indents on the barrel do not exactly line up with the set screws on the YHM gas block so could I just push the gas block all the way back to the raised portion of the barrel then tighten the screws down? I am a little lost as to how far the gas tube is supposed to be in the receiver or if its fine when all put together the right way. Thanks in advance everyone.

I am still in the market but wanted a heavy contour with a 936 seat so I can use the gas block I have. I was looking at these originally and did want a 16 but then read that If its going to be suppressed, which this one will be, I could get it quieter with a longer barrel. Im still undecided but thanks for the response, im keeping these in mind for sure if I wanna go with a 16, it still looks decently thick. If not probably go with Fulton again I really like the 22 inch I have from them.

I think I may like to get in on some of this action sir, how much for 25654, the micro front.

Hey tcoche sounds like a pretty good parts list you have there. I was also thinking of the Rainier Arms barrel because I wanted shorter than 18.5 but still a heavy contour to use the 936 gas block I already have, plus I like the heavy barrel look. I didnt know the quality though so after this beast is built let us know how it shoots im curious. Also +1 on the Fulton barrels for a future build of yours possibly, I have one in 22 inch and am real pleased with it.
