    I have a recent thread on checking headspace. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=116494

    Installing the barrel is easy. Grease the threads, tighten to 30 ft lbs, loosen, tighten again, loosen, tighten again. Loosen then tighten again to 30 ft lbs and then continue until the barrel nut aligns so that the gas tube can pass through.
