Tell the guy to get his money and parts - or better, money back for everything - and run away. Get a real gunsmith and get the work done right. I'd never let these guys buy replacements for my parts, I like to inspect my own stuff when it comes in, and be able to return it direct to the mfg if it's not right.

Any gunsmith with half a clue would decline doing a perm attach job without all the hardware present because it would obviously cause a problem.
I get barrels sent to me for perm attach jobs a few times a year without the gas block and barrel nut.
I won't do the perm attach until I verify with the customer that they might have an assembly order problem.
Most times, the customer just didn't think it through.
Sometimes, they are using a YHM bolt-together front sight though.
In that case, you can put the barrel nut on later and bolt the sight on with no problems.
A clamp-on gas block would have been a good solution in this case too rather than trying to weld the gas block back together once they realized the problem.

Am curious how a clamp on GB would go on over a pinned muzzle device. They don't really spread apart much. Have never tried it, so wondering if this has been done.
Wow that is one ****ed up barrel. Just think that your friend could have sent this to Rainier Arms and they would have done the work right.
Got it. Learned something, thanks.
