Anyone ever seen this?
I have a mega arms ar15 monolithic....1st barrel I put on it was from a guy that does precision ar's for a living, lilja blank. When torqued down the barrel canted to the left, visibly. I sent him the upper/ barrel and he fixed it. Saying it was a faulty barrel extension and he tried with a few other barrels and they were good.
Flash forward to now I just got a new barrel from a known precision barrel manufacturer and same thing, barrel cant. I sent the upper back to mega where they looked it over and tried a few barrels and they say it's good. Today I even pulled a 5.56 upper apart that uses the seeking irmt -r. Same thing I'm getting barrel cant with this new barrel. I was measuring .040" cant from the handguards on the mega.
I'm going to send the barrel back to the mfg but has anyone ever seen or heard of this before? Or am I just this unlucky?
