[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4170119, member: 35036"] I too have the tools you need, but I don’t have as nice of a reciever block. I do have a nice torque wrench though. You should be able to remove the gas tube by removing the bolt carrier, unpin the gas tube, then push the tube into the receiver a bit to unseat it from the gas block. If not, you can always pull the entire gas block, as you’ll need to when swapping out the barrel nut anyways. More or less, from where you posted your last picture, you’ll need to: Remove your muzzle device. Remove your gas block/gas tube. Remove barrel nut. Clean threads/mating surfaces. Inspect. Install new barrel nut. Torque to manufacturers spec. Usually 50-80inlbs or so. Install gas tube and block. Make sure everything is straight and pointing the right direction. Reinstall pin on gas tube, repin gas block (if necessary). Reinstall muzzle device Install new hand guard, tighten down/torque to manufacturers spec. Brownells has great, no nonsense gunsmithing videos on just about anything your average dude would need. I suggest giving them a look. [MEDIA=youtube]1NjNEQr4lCM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
