Step 4:
Knock out roll pins #09, #107, #126 from the sight tower.

Step 5:
Flip the rifle over and look at the bottom of the sight tower. Where pin #09 used to be you'll see there is a set screw located beneath it. Remove this screw. Once removed, the sight tower should no longer be attached. Slide the sight tower and gas tube off the outer barrel.

Step 6:
Get out your armorer's wrench and remove the barrel nut and delta ring. Remove the outer barrel by sliding it off the inner barrel. Be sure to keep track of the inner barrel spacer (aluminum) and the brass inner barrel assembly washer. If you can not locate the brass washer, it is probably still inside the outer barrel.
