Ok, I have completed what I thought was the hard part of the project. Delta ring, gas tube, and FSB removal and reinstall.  Now I have the Forearm on and have two questions. What is the best way to align the rails on the FF with the rails on the reciever, and how do I keep it there? I really don't want to use Loctite on a gun but I don't se any other way to do it.

I used a sight mount to clamp onto the upper rail and the FF rail. Then I used a flathead and hammer to tap the lockring tight. There was alot of grease on the barrel nut and when I shot it the heat caused the tube and ring to move. I couldn't get enough of the grease off to shop this and eventually resorted to loctight.

Did it resolve the issue, and if so what flavor (grade) of Loctite did you end up using?

When I put mine on, I used the Blue threadlocker from Permatex, I think that colors and strength rating are alike for both Permatex and Loctite.

Blue is a Medium strength locker.
