I'm having a hell of a time slipping my new Midwest Industries .750 gas block on to my Krieger barrel. Any advice on how to get it on? I've used a hammer and tapped it lightly to get it going, but it's not budging.
Thanks.

Put some oil on the barrel too. every bit helps.
Some blocks are a tight fit. Just needs more tappage.

Is there a special tool to use for this? The gas block is not budging. Any tips or procedures you can share with me?

I ran into this with my Kriger. I actually took some 600 grit sand paper and slowly sanded my FSB until it went on with a few light love taps. I know you have a GB but it is the same theory. Just be sure to sand slightly, evenly and check often.
