Got around to throwing together a rifle with all the extra crap I had in my parts box and everything was going together just fine.
Then, after installing the barrel, I realized I did not use the upper receiver “insert” that supposedly reinforces the upper as you clamp it in a vice to torque the barrel on.
There is no visible damage and it fired and cycled fine but I just wanted to double check that there isn’t some possible issue I’m overlooking after having clamped my upper in the vice the way I did.
Vise block is the Wheeler Engineering Delta Block, typical clamshell type.
Thanks.
