I had my local gunshop install this particular roll pin and gas tube as I dont (yet) own a vise and wanted it done right. Upon examination, the pin was not quite flush ALL THE WAY. The attached pics show what I am talking about. It was ever so slightly proud on the install side, NOT QUITE all the way through on the other. I put a roll pin punch on it and gave it some easy whacks, but it didnt move any further and I slightly buggered the pin a little. It wasnt quite as buggered before, but a little rough feeling. I realize the gas port and all is behind this, but thought I better check with the experts. No, I havent fired it yet, and yes this is my first AR 15 build.
Thanks, I really want to shoot this thing,
