done all of that except for muzzle devices. don't use them on my precision barrels. You really don't have much control over how tight the fit between receiver and barrel extension will be. I have have used high priced billet uppers, Vltor mur, DPMS some are tighter than others.
There are companies that will fulfill a customer's desire to get a tight fitting, square, and true upper receiver. They could probably make sure your barrel fit exactly how you want it to.
I guess we will find out. I have tried a lot of things. Some work better than others.
If you want to see how the gun groups prior to gluing the barrel in I am number 3 in the MOA challenge in the Precision Rifle Simi Automatic on this forum. That is pretty representative of the average group for this rifle. Sure I have shot better but this is 5 5 shot groups. This Saturday I will shoot the same load and bullet again. We will see what the change is if any. I really have no expectations. I have tried so many different things. Some worked better than others.
Unless you do some testing, like Molon, which would break the rules of that "competition", you will never know the potential of your rifle...only the potential of the rifle in your hands. An awful shooter can make a fine rifle look bad. That is not a dig at you, but in the name of scientific experimentation, you would need to remove as many variable as possible to verify exactly how much of a difference the Loctite made in regards to the accuracy of your rifle.
