I Saw that arDiscounts, they had some good sale prices and I picked up a couple t-Bone chg handles, a number of pieces parts and on 39$ slick sided Billet upper!!
Time to RE, re build that fugly upper!!
I had my Faxon 350 bbl in a A2 upper and alum tube free float tube, forend that was painted (cerokoted) a "fugly" green color. I just do not like it.
This bbl that has been a problem. I have a couple
Videos pruning and re crowning it... so/so in accuracy and bad/poor reliability in feeding. At least until this last iteration, where I used a bore scope to guaranty port alignment. I also changed out the gas block and I was rewarded with 100% function and lock back using same ammo as before changes.
I gathered my parts and tools, and pulled it apart. I didn't have, could not find, a new gas tube... Grr, so I used existing, but needed to change block. So I used a brand new Faxon gas block. Sometimes these are PIA, sometimes just a inconvenience. I was lucky with latter.
Using scope again, perfect port alignment and assembly was straightforward. MUCH BETTER feeling!!!!
I choose to keep this on my SCR lower. Meaning low scope
Mounts not typical AR tall mounts.
Pic shows scope in mount as it was on green upper. Not what I have now. Range soon.
