Who's the manufacture?

Stag 6.8. I was trying to remove the Troy barrel nut.

Damn.....were you using a reciever block.

Damn.....were you using a reciever block.

I was wondering the same thing. That, & did you apply enough heat (assuming it is Loctited)?

Question for you... the AR under that is under the 458, is that a JP VTAC handguard? I'm in the process of a 6.5 Grendel build and choose that handguard. If it is how do you like it and how was the installation?

1. I did used a Brownells vise block
2. I heated barrel & nut with a heat gun cause I don't have a torch.
3. It is a JP, the installation is simple: screw in the bn, slide on the tube then secure it with the provided screws. To me overall it's the most practical tube on the market.

Good to hear, I really didn't need or want rails at 3-6 and 9 for this build. So you loc-tite the big nut to the reciever first and after that sets up the barrel nut threads into that one...correct.
too bad about your upper but fortunately a replacement dosen't cost to much, just sucks about the finish however.

 

[nyc71]

The install is pretty straight toward. I'll just repaint the upper/lower receivers.

That is correct. I put one on my AR I just finished and it was pretty easy.
