[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2363406, member: 7157"] A tighter fit is good, but I hope you tapped the cylinder fully onto the splines before screwing down the gas lock. With the cylinder fully seated, check for a bit of back-and-forth play in the front hand guard, which is desirable. If the HG is fixed tightly in place, tap the cylinder off just a tad to get that play in the HG, then install the gas lock. Ideally, it'd snug down finger-tight, but it's better to be a bit loose than to bear down on the lock to get it to line up. Otherwise, you might jam the cylinder back against the HG and remove the loose fit. [/QUOTE]
