Gas tube for pistol position???

Guys,

I have a barrel on order from tp555. Is a 16+" with his three position gas block in stainless steel. Will be threaded 5/8x24 as well.

Have made 300 pcs of brass from LC 97 5.56 cases. They measure 1.365" after necking and the neck size turned out to be 0.330 when a bullet was seated. I think that stands a chance of working.

Flat top upper receiver has been acquired and the door and forward assist have been installed. Upper has M4 feed ramp cuts. Will use a carbine length free floating handguard that measures 1.750 ID. Is supposed to work.

Have a BCG that is know to headspace properly for .223.

Only problem left is the gas tube. I have acquired a carbine length tube. Understand that it has to be shortened. How is this done? (Have reasonable tools including a lathe and mill with a DRO.)

Very much looking forward to playing with this cartridge!

Thanks!



Only remaining issue
