is the JP classic FF tube any good or is it a pain to install? I got their new rapid configuration one and it has a nice barrel nut system on it, but the classic modular one seems like it might be more difficult? Of course they don't make the rapid config one for LR308. I read something about having to loctite the barrel nut and wait for it to dry as part of the install process. Which has me a little worried about someday having to remove it to change barrels.

Tempting to move, but running from problems won't work forever. It's like a disease, it needs a treatment plan.

So I'm looking for .936 adjustable gasblock, but I also want an extended length handguard / float tube. Are there any combos where I can put the gasblock under the handguard and still have access to adjust it? I was thinking to go with the JP Modual handguard and JP low profile adjustable gas block but I don't know how well this will work out. JP said it would work, but the email was really brief and I'm having my doubts. This is the barrel I will be using and I'm not sure if it is dimpled for the gas block. (Hoping it is a good one, it does not say that it is rifle cut or hand lapped, so I'm hoping I'm not making a mistake). I had ordered a custom barrel but I will probably cancel that for now. http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2233

Well I reload, so if my cases are not sized perfectly, and if I have a very tight chamber the forward assist could come in handy. But then again, another reason could be a squib, and with no forward assist you HAVE to take the BCG out and look :)

Yea, waiting on BCG so I can give my bolt to my barrel maker to have them headspace it, I told myself I would be patient to get this just right, but now I have a regular buffer and recoil spring rather than a fancy JP one, and no JP BCG... Oh well at least I'm not paying ridiculous prices for stuff... Ordered! Thanks for posting the link.

Is this a good BCG? it sounds nice but there is no forward assist. I was originally going to go with a JP before parts got scarce, which also does not have forward assist, but it's stainless steel and light weight. My Upper has a forward assist, but I guess it would be ok to get a BCG without it?
