Anyone has experience using real steel items on a AEG?

I recently purchased a DPMS 7" Free Float Tube (Handguard) and was installing it on my G&P M4 (AEG) reciever yesterday. However it only screwed onto the reciever halfway before I couldn't screw it on anymore.

Is this an Imperial/Metric threading issue?

I always thought G&P used Imperial threading which is compatible with real steel parts. Or am I absolutely wrong on this?

Thanks!

G&P receivers are extremely close, but not 100% the same threading as real steel. With the use of an armorers wrench, you should be able to make it work.

Haha, I finally asked my tech to rethread the free float tube. 15$US but it was fast and simple
