My barrel arrived last Friday. The Fed Ex guy was late, after 8pm when he dropped it off. I unpacked it and checked it over.
Fit and Finish: One word, exquisite. But you guys already know that.
The barrel mated up to the upper receiver with no slop or play. The pin on the barrel extension required some gentle persuasion to fully seat, light taps with a rubber mallet drove it home. The barrel nut tightened up nicely. Fit the gas tube and adjustable gas block, installed the free float fore end and it was good to go. I should have time to get the barrel broken in this weekend and hopefully get some good outside pictures with some targets.
Currently it is mounted with a cheap bushnell 3x9 scope, hopefully that will be replaced with a good reflex sight while I am saving up for something along the lines of a Sheppard. Can't wait to press the bang switch tomorrow an really see what she can do. Thanks to all in the shop for an excellent job.
