Guess which moron forgot the 6933 was a pencil barrel when it came to low-pro gas block purchasing time...
Discovered within 30 seconds of telling my wife how smooth the rail installation was going.
I share my idiocy to spare others some suffering.

My taper pins were actually freakishly loose. I think the low-pro is more secure. No kidding, I just barely tapped them and they shot right out. I could have just pushed them with the punch. The last 3 sets I've knocked out gave me ulcers and IBS. Whacking and whacking all the live-long day until they finally loosen up.
These were a joke. I don't know how they didn't just fall out from handling.

Is the shaving thing not a good idea? I thought it was ok other than tearing up a good FSB.
Also, the previous rifles I fooled with were an M&P15 and two Colts. This is my first 6933. I'm thinking maybe the taper pins aren't controlled as well as the rest of the parts. Maybe I got the small end of allowable on both.

"Gorgeous" Colt factory gun???
Rape???
Seriously?
Shaving is a perfectly acceptable and mechanically sound method.
As far as "tearing up?"
I don't know... there's plenty more of them out there, it's not like some rare, exotic, war relic.
I would have no problem shaving the gun I posted if that's the way I wanted to go, and mine's a Diemaco kit... which I suppose does make it a tiny bit "special" to some.
