Thanks to jtallen83… check your barrel flex/handguard clearance

All thanks to jtallen83!

He suggested to another poster to check flex on his barrel. I had read his advice before but never considered that my gas block could hit the handguard.

Boy, was I wrong!

My goofy PSA adjustable gas block is lopsided, and I couldn’t tell because the handguard was blocking me from seeing it. I thought the unthinkable - “Could my gas block be hitting the inside of my Guntech handguard?”

Yep. Easily.

After my eyes were rolling like the digits on an old style gas pump, I chopped off the top front 3” from that thing and went to town sanding and touching up the handguard. No amount of barrel whip will cause it to strike anything now.

Gotta get back out to the range to see if this brought the accuracy up.
