Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By bigbore: The collar is correct, but your front sight is not. The collar is likely stopping on the sight and not the shoulder/step on the barrel. Add a crush washer and you should be good or switch to a short collar. You are right, the collar is sitting up against the FSB. The gun cycles fine and there's no gas bleed around the FSB that I can see, is it just the way the steps on the barrel are cut? Also, you're saying crush washer in addition to the shims I currently have? |

Add a couple shims to extend with minimal extra torque. |

I am sitting on mine as I research what barrel I want to use since CLE is out of the game and I want to try their CLE chamber. I found a small shop in Mass that makes a phenomenal 16" barrel, not clone correct or anything, and asked it they could do an 18" but they said no so I am back to step one. I might grab one of their 16" barrels for a Holland at some point down the road though. |

Great for people who are trying to save up for stuff and don't want to have to buy parts the exact moment it comes in stock before it sells out, sucks for them trying to make sales. A bunch of us in the A.R.M.S. collector Facebook group regularly check the website and post in-stock notifications on social media to help out. Ever look up their address on google maps? Pretty cool that the US govt used such a small supplier but kind of annoying when you want clone parts nowadays.
