Barrel extension.. what gives?

[sketch]

Yep Lopo gb so it will be my own doings, if i screw it up meh! I have to try.. it's the builder in me? and I get more needed tools!

     It had to be somewhat tight to begin with , so getting it lined up & use Rock set, as has been mentioned , it should be fine . Getting it lined up correctly will be the key , proper Head Space , would be another .

  AR Barrel specialists , like ADCO , will have a Jig to make sure the Gas Port is drilled correctly to align with the Feed Ramps & the Barrels extension alignment Pin . Also they could turn the Barrel down , re-thread it , ream the Chamber , if needed ,to align every thing . not to mention doing all this to have the proper torque for the Extension to Barrel .

shelved this barrel since.. just had a thought in another thread for radical firearms. now i have the tools, time to dig it up and try to straighten things out? 

I did do a test at work for 175 ft/lbs with the wrench.. and a tourque wrench (3') no way can i turn a nut with a standard wrench!! to 175'lbs. I did maybe 80 with a 9''. and that made my eyes bug out.

I've got a snap-on 1/2" drive torque wrench that'll do 250 lb/ft.  Ship that barrel and I'll give it a shot at alignment.

Fuck, give it to me, if I can’t do it I will bend into a fucking pretzel

ive got the 1/2 " tourqe wrench now! just have to find the barrel.. its hiding in the back somewhere! i can muster a sand pit tourqe if nessary.. just not with the 9in cressent that i un did it with! but might over do it as said above if i tourqe it to specks..  its just a training barrel at this point. cant trust it!
