Yotecallr......
You'll get no argument from me as to whether it's necessary or not.
When I decided to venture into building my own I ordered a few manuals and did some research to find out which tools I needed and how to properly go about it. There is a good bit of info out there from both sides of the fence on this.
Your statement itself is the reason I decided to check my uppers...."you're just slipping in the barrel to the receiver and tightening the barrel nut". Since joining the barrel to the upper is the basis for the rest of the build why not make sure it's the best that it can be?
I need the most accuracy I can achieve from the upper to help make up for my shooting.
