| Anything special I should know about installing a CMMG .22lr barrel to a stripped upper? I'm assuming it's no different than 5.56. I haven't received the barrel yet but I expect it soon. Are the torque values the same? Can I use a standard receiver block? No biggie right? |

Are the torque values the same? Can I use a standard receiver block? No biggie right? I don't know what your capabilities are, but I advise you to have your upper receiver trued before you assemble your rifle. I have two (2) uppers (from Cerro Forge) that were not true, and after torquing the barrel nut discovered about a 2 degree offset to the right. I had to apply 2 Mil of left windage to get on paper. A trip to my gun smith, 30 minutes later after truing on the lathe, and the bore was on centerline with the bolt raceway. It cost me $35.00 and was well worth it, now my windage is at 0, where it should be. Just a suggestion. Ted |
