Agreed!

BTW, who makes the gas block?

 

[Dmacpro91]

Yea I'll definitely post pics when it's all done. Here is a link to the gas block I used. It's not a clamp on, but with the copper interface I made you can use the 2 set screws that come with it to make it nice and snug. Amazon.com: AR15 AR 15 Rail Height Gas Block with 2 rails for .750 barrels including roll pin: Sports & Outdoors

You've had it for a few hours and you haven't posted finished pictures yet. Is everything okay?

Here ya go:

Delta Ring Assembly - AR15

Edit:
As far as your second question I've only seen the A2 front sight post (sized to fit the 15-22) from True Shot Technologies, but no ~.65 gas blocks.

.625 (5/8") is not even close. You need to have a milling machine or some way to bore it out.

Tacticool22, any idea when that package will be ready for sale?

I am shooting for May, June at the latest.
I have so many things that need to be designed (by me) and prototyped, then turned over to production that I am just swamped.
You will need to buy the complete delta ring assembly with the barrel nut, 2 piece hand guards and the hand guard cap. There are 4 versions.
1) Handguard Cap Colt Round Carbine .750 Dia.
2) Handguard Cap Round Carbine .625 Dia
3) Handguard Cap Round Carbine .750 Dia
4) Handguard Cap Triangle .750 Dia

Whenever you have time to answer, or if you can point me to where it's already been answered....

I measured my barrel and it came in at .675. Is that right? It doesn't seem right based on what you've mentioned so far. I have the standard 15-22, non threaded barrel.

Is the barrel nut just one standard size?

 

[tacticool22]

What is the question?
The barrel nut is one standard size. The threads on the barrel have been the same since the first model 15-22 and the outside threads are the same as every AR clone made.

Thanks man, that helps.

Someday soon, these two will match

 

[Dmacpro91]

Done... for now

Got a surprise in the mail today from tacticool22...

Got everything assembled and it seems pretty solid. Will be testing everything this weekend.

Thanks again everyone for all the help.

Edit: My medium profile riser for the sight should be in tomorrow so hopefully then everything will be done.
