I think the AAC shim kit is around $12.
I don't know my way around it that well... I inherited a Chinese mini lathe a couple years ago. I've used it some but by no means am I a pro. I would NOT trust myself to bring the shoulder back on the barrel, taking a little material off the muzzle device is a lot easier though.

MegademiC, the VG6 Gamma is nitrided stainless so I'm not concerned about a raw finish (although I'd hit it with something to make it less ugly).

MistWolf, that's a good point, I'll have to check the depth of the female threads in the muzzle device vs the male threads on the barrel.
