Which does the Vile Horde like best?

[LRRPF52]

I always time my bolts and barrel extensions to make sure there isn’t any binding as I bed the barrel extension.

Once the bedding is dry, I then torque on the barrel nut, which doesn’t matter at that point what tool or method is used.

Since the tools aren’t exact replicas of your bolt, I don’t introduce another guess point since the bolt is the bolt.

I’ve seen several builds where people are smashing their bolts into the barrel extension teeth, even on production guns.
