[QUOTE="Harry Knutz, post: 2656249, member: 123671"] You should still pull the barrel and see if the locating pin is damaged like I said earlier, It happens more than many people think, I saw it personally happen to a friend of mine with a factory DPMS LR-308 the damage looked a lot like what you have posted. I repaired the rifle for him buy replacing the upper receiver and a few other parts. I have put many upper receivers together going way back and learned the hard way early on about bending the locating pins. If the gas tube doesn't line up I have a lapping tool I machined to square of the face of the upper to get the gas tube holes lined up. [/QUOTE]
