    You shouldn't glue the gas cylinder on until you've fitted the gas cylinder lock.
    Maury,
    That's why I like glue so much.

    So, should I peen the splines? Or let the glue take a set before I position the gas cylinder? Or swap around some cylinder locks? The way it is now, the gas cylinder is tight against the handguard ferrule.
