It is normal
I'd suggest getting some headspace gauges anyway just to make sure whenever you're building a rifle. You won't be able to see the difference but if it's off, you might feel it lol
It seems I can't breakdown without doing the pivot pin first, I think it's working against the buffer
Something must be off, or it isn't seating properly. I should be able to break it apart more easily, from the back pin first I'm thinking right?
Yeah, back pin first is the standard procedure
It's pretty uncommon to even touch the front pin
Yeah, I rarely bother to touch it. I clean it while it's hinged.
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that the bolt carrier could be resting too far back, blocking the rifle at the receiver extension, but idk
Hm. I'm afraid to rack the bolt until then, may send pics as I try to take it back apart
Yeah, try bumping the push-thingy. I forgot the name, lol
Forward assist
And if that doesn't work, literally rack it back and release, allow it to slam into battery
Ahh yes, the assist, lol
I'm building an AR this weekend and don't remember part names XD
*when your gun jams because you bought an Anderson so you smash the forward assist until the brass is permanently deformed into the chamber*
Nothing moves if I hit the forward assist
Lol I don't have anything loaded
Dummy rounds come Sunday
Don't be a bitch my boy. It's a gun, not a toy.
Tear that shit apart until you fix it.
Trying to use the marketplace of ideas to gather professional consensus. Is my gas block too far back possibly?
Not likely... your bolt doesn't really seem bad, and they tend to have an area where they rest.
Definitely disassemble. Look at anything that could interfere with the rear lug. Gas block wouldn't do anything.
I've had a similar issue before, and it was the hammer getting in the way I think.. Or something. It was something simple I forgot about
Gonna take it all apart and start over
Mostly, anyway
Just a slight overhang
Even if j crank the buffer back a bit, the bolt catches on the top inner edge of my lower
I recently ran into a similar situation with my AR pistol and I'm not sure how it happened.
Ok y'all, sorry if this has been beaten to death already but..BCM vs LWRC. Seen both at about the same price point, hear good about both. What do y'all think?
My freedom is just a few cm of heat treated aluminum away
I've heard LWRC is a bit above BCM. But BCM is known for their reliability.
I like the BCM handguard I bought, wouldn't have gotten a different one in hindsight. Very tight fight but...I like it that way
And LWRC is more expensive
BCM parts are very tight, I hear taking their rifles apart past a field strip is a bitch, lol
But also a pro of buying them.
I've always kinda been told that for a "field" rifle you should at least go BCM. But lwrc seems to always be mentioned next. Trying to sort out competition rifles from actual working rifles on the higher tier stuff basically to figure out what I want for the next toy purchase.
My first attachment? 1000 rounds of ammo
Then onto greener pastures
I've heard good things on LWRC... but every time I hear about working rifles, I hear about BCM. And another rifle I've read good things on, is the Barrett REC7
