    Two simple machined rings?

    Pardon me for interfering in this thread, I don't have any experience in building AR-15s, just shooting & cleaning them. Tony

    Anything is possible with the right tooling & machining experience ,
    Could it be done ? yes
    Is it practical to do ? No
    There is a more involved than just making a spacer .
    Indexing gas port hole , cross pin holes .
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
