Ahhh yeah I looked a bit closer at what OP was saying. You are correct sir they will not help. I had that terrible skinny barrel nut that needed a crows foot and had to be timed to guard 3,6, and 9 o'clock. SuckedThose would only apply in regards to timing the barrel nut for the gas tube. They would serve no purpose for the indicated issue with this Guntec mounting method.
