I didn't clean my BCM upper when I got it. Just greased it up and went out to Burro. Not one hiccup.

putting this lower together is a pain in the *****

pivot pin detent? Put the pin through the opposite side, and use a razor blade to hold in the detent. Then simply switch the side the pin is in. Or buy one of those tools.

You hijacked my technique....lol I have an awesome metal dental pick for getting it back out.......

Giving it a light-little cleaning can't hurt.

Yeah that was frustrating to say the least. Now I'm stumped. I'm following this:

and this

I've installed the safety switch and grip. When I went to perform a function test. When in safety and pulling the trigger, hammer wouldn't budge. When in fire...hammer wouldn't budge. I've taken out the hammer and played with it 3 x now with same results. I don't know what's going on. Nothing has really gone together easily. The roll pins have been very very tight...I mean I was scared I was going to destroy them installing them. When installing the safety switch it seems like its hitting the trigger group and has to almost be forced in. The bolt release pin was a ***** to get in.

This is a stag lpk going into a spikes lower...not sure if thats the issues or not. Almost thinking I should have just gotten a stag lower. Oh well.

I think I'm going to try to get a Cal gunner over here to help me finish this before I break something. Didn't think it was going to be such a pain in the ***.


TurboChris where you at?

[rattlesnake_nm]

You are fine. As long as You got the bolt catch, mag catch, trigger guard, and pivot pin in, the rest can easily be troubleshooted by another eye. If You didn't break something getting the bolt catch, and trigger guard installed You are in the clear. Well, and not scratch it installing the mag catch, or whatever You guys have in cali.

How come the hammers not releasing when I pull the trigger?

[hardluck]
