OK, I finally got the Lilja on yesterday. Obviously some time has passed. It was in the freezer since then, I took it upstairs in a container of ice.
I then used the heat gun, on highest setting for 3+ minutes.
That did the trick I then slid on the gas tube after putting the barrel nut on.
Beautiful.

So this is what happens when you put a carbine length tube on a barrel with a mid length gas system.
The tube and the handguard were bought with a 12.5 monster pistol in mind.
I have ordered a midlength tube and a JPE adjustable gas block from Wing Tactical.
I don't want to disassemble it after all the effort to put that roll pin in.
So here is potentially what it looks with the handguard.
