[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1436422, member: 10178"] I decided to bed with Blue Thread locker from Permatex from information I got from another site. I did my second build today. I used an Anderson upper with an Oden Works 223 W 18" DMR barrel with their tunable gas block and a STNGR float tube. Discovered that the gas block was hitting the tube on the inside and had to use a Dremal and file on the inside of the tube to make wiggle room. It is free floating now. This was my second build from scratch so it got me to thinking. I better check out my first build I did a couple months ago. It was a 6.5 Grendel but I used the same maker barrel and gas block and float tube and sure enough the gas block was hitting on the inside. I removed the tube and Dremaled it so there is wiggle room with it now. Lucky this was a intermediate length gas barrel because with my flex wand attachment on the Dremal I could just reach where I needed to grind on the tube. I had shot this rifle and with certain handloads it shot great, maybe it will shoot great with everything now that it has a truly free float barrel. [/QUOTE]
