    UPDATE...

    Here's a couple pics of his gas key...you can see there's 2 gash-like marks w/ metal burrs sticking outward. I may just lightly file the burrs down. The rifle functions fine as is right now. The gas tube is straight as an arrow so I don't foresee any issues.

    PICS:

    Thank you for filling in the omissions in the procedure, and doing the in depth description of what we were taught. Early morning post and coffee had not kicked in.

    KUSP.40 - I would not chance it. Spend the $30 and replace both the gas key and the tube.

    Wondered if anyone would catch that.

    The Helicoil pulled so I just went to a backing nut. I suspect Troy would replace the handguard but I actually like the way the nut works.
