    My barrel fit loosly as well, I tried a couple different ones and it was the same for all of them. Didn't really think much of it as they tightened up just fine with the barrel nut.

    If it was a barrel problem then how did this same barrel fit my SLR? I also tried this barrel in a spare upper I had kicking around and it fit snug. I tried my ballistic advantage barrel in my MS upper and it was also loose.

    It still fits the Ms upper. Every dimension on the uppers are checked after they get them back from ano and if it's not within spec they don't ship it out. Tolerance stacking is a problem. If you have a barrel extension on the small side and an upper on the bigger side of the tolerance its going to be loose. If you are worried about it send it back to atrs and get them to double check it with your barrel.

    My question was should I be worried about it. Everything is put together and shoots good so idk. I just don't have experience with this particular issue is all. I emailed them anyways, so ill see what they say when they get back to me.

    There is no safety concern in regards to what you are describing. If a tighter fit is desired I have heard from some folks that they bed their barrel extension into all upper receivers using loctite 620. This is not a method that I have experience using myself, and am merely passing along a customers recommendation. Use at your own risk. [Although I am told there is no risk]

    One option I’ve seen is people use Indian head (brand name) basket shellac compound. Check out “fifty%” on YouTube. He swears by the stuff. I’d sooner use than that a locktite, at least this you can remove easily.

    The green loctite 620 isn't a thread locker, it's a retaining compound designed for cylindrical applications, seems perfect. We use this stuff at work all the time, it will fill a gap of 0.015.

    I never thought of using it, but I will definitely "borrow" a few drops from work if needed for my barrel/upper.

    Just remember, 620 is permanent. You would need to heat it up to over 500deg F to get the loctite to break it's bond before you hammer it out. Lots of people do it, but I would rather not since I change my mind on barrels pretty often.
