[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 3059130, member: 125421"] Absolutely worth the effort! Most uppers ar 7 series aluminum some are 6 the barrel isn't going to bend but the upper definitely can . Yes you remove some anodize and it can and will cause electrolysis as you're materials are different. I generally use some blue locktite on the threads anyway so I just add some around the flange where the barrel meets the aluminum upper and your all set .I've seen and heard of antiseize being used also .
