Now it is time to install the barrel. There has been some discussion on
a couple of the forums about barrels being to loose. The receivers were
made to fit a barrel with a diameter of .825", the receivers were bored to
.8245" to give a .0005" press fit. If your barrel is to loose in the receiver it
will need to be addressed before continuing.
First the gas piston retainer needs to be fitted and installed, it can not
protrude into the barrel hole.

I purchased the receiver fixture from ORF for doing the barrel, it is worth
the $20.00 they charge for it. It properly supports the receiver during barrel
installation.
