zabo Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Mine has come loose on my LR-308 24" BB (the rail was factory installed). For the life of me I cannot get it tight. I called DPMS they said it should tighten by hand. It's as tight as I can get it and my rail still can turn about a 1/2 inch back and forth (it's hitting the gas tube, I think it would probably go all the way around if I took it out). Can it be tightened without taking the gas return off? deer season is close so really do not want to send it back to DPMS. Sorry for my amateur description, i'm new to the AR world. Any idea or help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Did it start out tight brother? How about some pics so the guys can help you out a little better. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Can you get us a picture of the rifle/handguard. It'll help for reference when we try to help with a remedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabo Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 On a trip will post some when I return. Don't think it will help much. I noticed yesterday I could actually rotate the barrel also. i think I need to remove the gas line to tighten it. From what I've heard it's a bitch to remove the gas block from the Bull Barrel. Might just try to find a local gun smith, which sucks sinces it pretty new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 It the tube is tight to the barrel nut, then the barrel nut is what's loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
