    OOPS!

    Okay guys, Is this damage worth a worry? I was taking off my barrel nut in a vise (while using upper blocks) and when i took it out of the vice a little piece of the upper flaked off. It must have stressed the metal just enough?? Will this impede function or have i weakened the receiver? Thanks in advance!

    From the pics my guess is cosmetic only. Perhaps IG or another expert/industry professional will chime in.

    I gots to think that there's NO friggin way that happened from barrel nut wrenching. Are you certain it didn't get dinged elsewhere and you just now noticed? Was the missing material there on the bench?
