Here we go folks. I got my Troy handguard and can't get the correct timing on my barrel nut. The tooth on the nut is at twelve O'Clock and going back puts me under thirty foot pounds. Someone recommended to tighten and loosen the nut repeatedly until I can get the correct timing. Troy Industries is also going to send a new barrel nut to try. So, what do y'all think about the tighten and loosen idea to achieve the proper timing and the proper torque? Did anyone else run into this problem installing their?

PS: I thought about grinding down the tooth so the gas tube would go in, but then the rail wouldn't line up after the twist to lock it into place.
