So, as I was trying to get my first build customized, I mounted and re-mounted rails and grips on my handguard a whole lot, trying to get them "just right". (The first AR I built was only the second one I ever shot, so I was figuring out the right feel on the fly.) I learned the hard way cheap screws can be soft and their heads start to strip after the third or fourth time I had torqued them down.
Heck, I learned the hard way there were good screws and crap screws, LOL. I also realized if I weren't all n00b about stuff on my rail and just knew where I wanted it, they would have worked fine.
Good luck deciding on the cyro barrel. I have one, but I haven't got it out shooting yet. I did a lot of reading before I decided to give it a go, as it is a pricey service. At a most fundamental level, I like the science behind it. I don't feel that I've falsely attributed, as some advocates do, any special properties to the service, or over-estimated the degree to which it will have an effect on accuracy, cooling, and/or cleaning. I'm pretty sure the limitations on the groupings will be me, and this was truly a splurge spending. If, I'm totally wrong about everything, it still encourages me to try to become a good enough shot that I could tell the difference. A little dream, like a carrot on a stick.
