This is the beauty of forums. Have a problem, get more then one brain working on it. 98z5v; That example of bearing fitting is why I rethought the freezing trick with the receiver. That's exactly what I do to fit bearings. Jason at Mega was helpful with the problem and supportive. He also was very fast with responses. This is always good to know. Definitely shows me they are a good company.

Well I got the pins to fit. <thumbsup> Did the freezer trick.I have to admit I am new to AR building and not familiar with how tight things should be. I always go by the advice you shouldn't"t have to force things together. If you have to double check the info and ask questions before you break it. Forcing things can be costly and I know that one. My measurements were taken by a digital caliber. I do not think it is very accurate but it is consistant with its repeatable measurements. So it did show there was a difference in size between the pins and holes. I was shocked that the drill bit was so under size but it was a cheap OSH brand. Once again, thank you all for your input. Cheers, O

Eat it of course. Hey I was think that the lower should not be placed in the freezer. This would cause the constriction with the holes. It should be heated up, like with a hair dryer to cause it to expand. This is what I have done in the past with parts on my cars. Anyways will findout later. Mega got back to me. They said the holes are in spec and offered to put the pins in for me. I see their point on the specs but its cool they offered to put the pins in.

Thank you everyone good ideas. I will try the freezer method first. I did sent an email out to Mega, to see what they had to say. So tonight the freezer method. Cheers, Oeno

This sounds like a good idea. Ruining the pins is better then the receiver.

Thanks for the info. The drill bit was for cleaning out by finger twisting it in the hole. I am no way going to drill it due to not having the proper equipment.

So I go to in stall my Geissel Hi speed trigger on my MA-TEN and the pins wont fit into the holes :'(. I measured and the holes are .153 and the pins are .154. The kicker is I went and got a #23 drill bit to clean the holes out and the bit measured .152, WTF. So did anyone out there have the same problem? Also does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks in advance.

Thank Guys. Yeah I think it is an infection. I'm just going to have to ride it out. I just hope my pocket book survives.

Great job <thumbsup>. How do you like the ace stock? I'm getting one of the ARUL ultralights for a carbine build. Cheers, O

Hello everyone. Just want to say this is a great site for 308AR info and thank you to those that have been contributing. Due to this site the build bug bit me. I am now just starting to collect parts for a build. So shortly I will post about my build. Cheers,

I was googling 308 AR and this site came up. I was deciding on buying or building one. Since this site has good info I decided to build one. I am just starting to gather parts. Cheers,
