Im not sure about the rest of it but we have been pressing hanson premium 18" barrels into bcm uppers and head spacing the bolt on our newer competition rifles. Paired with ssa-e and the new ssp triggers our shooters are shooting consistent 1/2 moa.

i had the will power to not buy guns. I even bought a gun store and work for a company that manufactures the forging machines for said guns. I need help.
He talks about swapping the barrel extension out for an oversized one to tighten up the fit. It kind of comes across as spin the extension off and just spin the oversized one on. I would think that it is more involved then that as the barrel extension's pin needs to be in phase with the gas port.
I do not think lapping the receiver base increases accuracy. I do think it squares the barrel extension to the bolt face so the lugs are all loaded evenly instead of being biased to one side.
A cup warmer works good for stuff like that too. Place the receiver face down on the cup warm and let it sit a while.
I've used BCM blem/demo stripped uppers for north of a dozen builds, using barrels from various sources - green mountain and ballistic advantage mainly.
The extensions fit snug in the receivers, but I've never had to freeze the barrel or heat the receiver.
Do you think it is because the receivers have been previously used on demo rifles?

From what I understand, one of the nice features of the Joe Carlos/Shilen barrel extensions is that they are cut with a thread that begins at the same spot on all of them so they are truly interchangeable.
If you are Shilen and you are making your own barrel and extensions I can see that being the case.
Maybe I am wrong about this but I do not see that happening 100% of the time when using a barrel from company A and an extension from company B.
I would love to hear from someone who has actual experience swapping these things out.

As someone who is not particularly knowledgeable but pretty good at following instructions, this summary seems like a great opportunity to build out an article or (if you’re into it) a step by step video. Not that it’s needed, but I would find it helpful to “see” these things done.
Reply to original post. Quality ARs and army issued M4s do their part better than the shooters do. This is true for they army, if you want to, not just hit a silouette at 300 meters, but hit it between the eyes, you need to get a sniper rifle. A quality AR is already accurate.
