Fighting Cat Front End - Fitting

[RitchieTheBrit]

In a single word, how? You can see the kit below. Can't find ANY instructions or videos. The large collar fits the body, the smaller collar presses the barrel into the body.





It seems the shroud locks these together, very awkward!

Anyone fitted one of these?

Screw first nut onto receiver until the forward surface is behind the front shoulder of the receiver to which the barrel mates.

Screw rail system onto first shroud until rail is flush against receiver AND rail is aligned with rail on receiver. It probably won't align first time, you need to adjust the position of the first nut using a URX installation tool.

Once rail is correctly aligned to receiver torque that nut up like a beast (or go on KAC's website and look up the correct torque, knock a bit off because this isn't real steel and go with that).

Then install barrel and a shim, then install the second nut. Once again, torque up the nut to your heart's content.

Sadly, to do this properly you need the right tool for the job!

Ah, that s what I was missing. With that tool, it would have been child's play. As it it, I have it installed satisfactorily, but it would have been far better with the tool!
