Thanks a lot for posting the pic!
( one quick question, my barrel doesn’t have the dimple for gas block, will it matter if my gas block is using set screws?)

No, generally it will just require a little more care to detail when installing it to ensure proper alignment. After it's aligned, and you confirm it via firing it, then put a little blue loctite on the threads of the set screws one at a time and you're set.

Great!

I doubt that. Fastenal carries a variety of them, a lot of lower parts kits come with them. The ones that are in LPKs and come long, I think it's like ordering action screws for a Remington 700. They usually come long, because it's easy to cut them down.. but if you've ever tired to stretch a bolt that's too short... whole other story.

And that being said, absolutley nothing wrong with the washer or spacer system either. Long as your grip is holding firm with no wiggle, life is good.

Magpul offers their grip screw by itself, using one of those with a lock washer from a regular LPK and seems to work fine. Its quite a bit shorter than the one that came in the LPK.

My grip screw was a little long.

I threaded a nut on, hacked a couple threads off, and then was good to go.
