Just a thought. Thinking about various methods of bedding an AR barrel it occurred to me that a few warm up shots create enough heat expansion to secure the same effect as bedding or an interference fit. What do you guys think?

All of mine are bedded.
Historic floods and Nessie kept me out of the home range this weekend, so I thought I'd work on something a little different.
Thought I'd take this beater AR I built a barrel for and would try and improve it. Bushed the takedown pin holes and adjusted location to take up the slop between the upper and lower. Now she's tight as a glove.
Next challenge is getting a Rifle-1" straight gas tube to fit the adjustable gas block I have for this. :|

What recievers require heat to install a barrel?
Depends on your barrel extension
You would need to shoot a lot to get the chamber end hot enough to expand very much. Would you want the rifle to be inaccurate or have a drifting zero until it warms up? Blue Locktite always worked well for me. Lots of over thinking about this imo.

BCM are heat to fit uppers.
White Oak sells oversized barrel extensions, they are heat to fit by proxy.
Don't mix the two.
