Welcome from KY.

Got a new shirt on the way.

Good to hear.

I have bought stuff from Botach for years and only had a problem with them not shipping an item in a timely manner once. I also called and cancelled the order and it was a while before I spent any more money with them.

Finger tight should work. Take the plug out and see if the upper and lower fit ok. If they do the plug is the problem and can be modified so everything fits.

I would take some more metal off the flat of that plug till it fit. That plug is taking the place of the charging handle.

Yes that was a good deal. BUT you know that will cost me more as that barrel and bolt will become a rifle. Already ordered an A2 stock and 15" rail for it. I have everything else I need to finish the build except glass.

Stopped in at the local gun shop today. One of the guys that works there ask me if I still was shooting 6.5 Grendel. Of course I answered yes. He said he was going back to 5.56 and ask if I was interested in a barrel,bolt, 10 rnd magazine, and some ammo and brass. He brought the pile of stuff out. 100 rnds of loaded ammo, 20 pieces of Hornady brass. 20" barrel w/gas block and tube and a bolt. I ask him what he wanted for the lot. He said $100 and Ben Franklin jumped out of my pocket.

The newest critter on the farm. She will be 4 weeks old tomorrow and already sold to a neighbor.

Congratulations.

Those are ejector swipes not extractor marks. Bet your ejector has a square face not rounded at the edges.

16lbs for $60 I like things that go boom.

The link I sent him was for a gas tube. I thought that was what he was referring to.

Those marks on the brass is just ejector swipe.

That's exactly what it does.

The 5 1/4

I remember my dad being happy when he put a 100meg hard drive in his computer. Still baced up data on a floppy disk.

Different tools for different jobs.

I have a 308 pistol I built w/PSA upper and lowers. I bought the Brownells brand BCG which is probably made by Toolcraft.

Good triggers. I still have one on my parts box and another somewhere.... Oh that's right it's in Az.
