    Picked this up in a trade. Never done anything with an upper. 20" JSE Surplus 1/9 twist lightweight profile. What parts do I need and how do I headspace it. Barrel nut is under the guard. 5.56.
    Or if somebody wants to save me a headache $150.

    Thanks.

    Well I've been reading, All you have to do is line up the keyway, crank the bolt down to 50 foot pounds and your done. All these years I thought there was shimming, hand fitting, cutting feed ramps, filing extractor slots etc, etc, etc ..... nope. For factory made barrels it's bolt up and shoot. Very cool.
