By the looks of the bottom of the gas system the barrel is bent to one side . The gas piston is offset to one side when seated . That would explain the damage to outside of gun

Can’t guess what the actual problem is, but it looks like someone got frustrated, and may have used a hammer while putting it together. I have owned the baby brother rifle to the R1, the MR1 in 223. They are tricky, but easy to take apart and put together if done correctly.

The gun is built very solidly. If you can take it apart and reassemble it properly, it may work fine. I believe the entire barrel assembly will pull off of the action with the removal of the retaining nut located above the spring, when the gun is pointed upward.

Thanks for all of the information guys. I'll take another look at it and see what I can do.
