Got my barrel assembly in. Anyone know if the Daniel Defense barrel nuts are steel or AL? My barrel nut has a little finish scratched off from their wrench. I am really just worried about rust as it won't be visible once installed.

Ordered more stuff today... headspace gauges, front sight tool, buttstock extender (going to try it with my shorty to see if I like it.. if not I'll just sell it), and other small items.


At this point all I really need to pick up are rail covers, BAD, bag to carry my rifle and misc tools/equipment to the range, some sort of lockbox/safe for the house, and eye/ear protection.

After buying all that and ammo I am going to be done for a bit...

I will eventually be grabbing a sling and mounts from Gear Sector though... prolly as a birthday gift to myself.
