Well, the nut cam in today. Still no dice. The nut screws on the tube no problem, but the threads are JUUUUST to close to the inside of the forearm. It's time for some of the Dremel action in the morning. Going to Lowes in the morning, and look for a large(ish) drum sander for it, and start a little bit at a time sanding down the inside of the forearm. This is going to work, because I am not giving up. If only the stock forearm had rails, I wouldn't be in the mess, lol. My stock should be in Wednesday, with my laser/light combo Tuesday, and waiting on the hand stop to send confirmation. I ordered it 2-day shipping, but forgot about the holiday, so that may not get here until Monday. Did get the AFG today. It will give me something to hold onto when I start the sanding if nothing else. I'll add more pics when everything starts coming together. Took my Mueller Reflex sight off my 9mm carbine, and it is just dying to go for a ride on the Mossy. I am going to the in-laws tomorrow, so even if I can't the Barska Tri-Rail on, I'll go stock just to get the Mueller sighted in. And thank you all for the advice and help!!
