Does the gas block come already assembled to the barrel?

Has to, right?

Someone talk me out of building a PSA .308 AR rifle... I already have one of these...

The rifle is complete Aero precision. The only change is the barrel made by Chet Zymechy who makes the barrels for JP.

Ok, cool. Did Chet supply a mated JP bolt as well?

Lastly, any plans on an upgraded trigger and which NF did you go with?

Would love to see actual groups once you get it to the range!

I wonder if the heat sink will really do more insulating since there's probably a gap between it and the barrel. Maybe your hands won't get so hot?

The heat sink is attached to the barrel. Should not have a gap. It notes you can mount it to any barrel that is turned down to the correct 2 OD sizes they make the 2 piece heat sink in.

Yep matching stainless bolt. I had some work done on the stock trigger. I have been slacking but I will hopefully make it to the range soon.

I doubt I ever fire it fast enough to notice. I tend to slow fire precision rifles. But it still may help. I'm sure it is more than just a gimmick and there is some actual science involved or JP wouldn't wast their time contouring the barrels for it.
