"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
I'll get you some more info this weekend when I get a chance to pull it apart.
Seems the majority of the issue was the gas block was a bit off center when it was pinned from the factory. Removed that gas block and centered and installed a new one and it is much more in the center of the handguard. Still slightly off to that same side but not so close I would worry about any contact in that area.
Crisis averted. Lol.
What brand of block did you go with? I've never had any issues with YHM or Troy
As long as they are made of steel, I'm not real picky about the brand. The one I just put on was from Odinworks. The one that was installed a little crooked was a factory install from AAC. It was pinned so every time you put the pin in it would line it right back to it's slightly askew position.
You should see if AAC will remedy that for ya with a new barrel.
