Is this normal?

SJ,
Wipe a light coat of oil or grease on your barrel forward of the bayo band. This will help keep from scratching the barrel when you slide it forward. I loosen the bands screw as far as it will back out (most are peened on the end so they won't un screw all the way) and keep it slightly pryed open to ease it forward. I also push in the barrel band spring with a small wood dowel to keep from scratching it also. Then push the upper Hand guard forward. No need to remove the Recoil plate unless you can't see a marking (some are marked underneath. I try counting how many turns backed out and try re-installing with the same amount of turns. Theres a trick to hanging the barrel, we can get to that later.

If you have any questions just ask, ANY......... none are considered silly, we've all been there at one time.
We're are as excited as you to see the internals.
Try looking at this link of pictures by fellow member dnikkor, he took pics of most everything we'd need to see.

My new late war Inland

Looking good so far.

Cheers,
