[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 3067660, member: 105694"] I haven't seen the nut for the atlas before, so unaware of how it looked. With a low-profile gas block on an AR10 the Z bend is necessary. If it's not then a straight tube is fine. With the gas block and tube installed insert the bcg into the upper and put it into battery. If it closes and unlocks without a drag feel, them it's good. Finding the cause (like you have) and knowing how to fix it is usually easy? If the clover has some overspray/slag just enough to cause the nut to feel like it's the problem, it might not be the nut? With the tube end that goes into the key it's slightly larger than the tube as so to seal the gas. Try to install it as straight as you can into the clover and see if it drags/catches any. Or just use a round or half-moon file and remove in the necessary material place on the nut. BTW, great pics! Makes info a whole lot better! [/QUOTE]
