I have an AR-15 with a2 suitcase sights and i want to change the receiver to the rail type. How involved is replacing the barrel on the new receiver? i have looked for a gunsmith to do it for me but i have been unsuccessful in finding one.
Anyone know of a gunsmith that can do it in the Nashville TN area? I can generally repair stuff. So... can anyone walk me thru it? I understand i must remove the gas tube. But it seems very tight. i removed the pin how careful should you be or how much abuse will it take with pliers and the like? After its off i must turn the sprocket looking nut with the proper tool. I got the general idea but what about headspacing? Anybody got any ideas?
