    Yes, I want to see how jacked up these barrels are.

    Sorry that all I had was a cell phone camera to do this with. If there's is any other pics you want just ask and I'll try to take one.

    First some picture of the FSB. Rhe pins are just pressed in under finger pressure.




    Some finish wear on the barrel extension.


    A picture of the barrel nut.


    I had a picture of the barrel threads, but it was too dark. That said there wasn't and wear on the threads if that makes any difference.

    Is this a 16" barrel of a 6520? Or is it a 14.5"?

    The FSB holes don't look that mangled at all.

    I would put a new barrel nut on it if you think you really need to use this barrel and drive the pins in.

    Otherwise I would get a new 6520 barrel which should have been done in the first place as these barrels/uppers are readily available.

    It's a 16" barrel and it already has a new barrel nut. All I'm using this barrel for is to make a sort of clone of a colt 652, so it's not a serious use rifle. And yeah I'd agree that if this was meant to be a rifle that I was going to use for anything serious, I would have went with a 6520 in the first place.
