RRA .223 Stainless barrel question

**Gomer Pyle** · June 9th, 2009, 02:02 PM

I ordered all my parts for my AR and have everything put together except the barrel assembly.

I ordered this.... http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.c...ategory_id=274

I have the gas block, gas tube, free float handguard....

Does anyone know if I am going to have to order the Barrel Extension if I ordered this? Where the bolt locks in.

Or is this part of the barrel? This is my first AR and first build so I am not sure.

Has anyone ordered a barrel from RRA?

PS: Its lookin' pretty nice so far.

Should be included and already headspaced.

"already headspaced" Even if I bought all the parts separate?

Use a new carrier and bolt and you should be fine. If the barrel extension is already set to the barrel (and most are) then it's already set up for you. The float tube, gas block.....none of that will matter in headspacing.
