Re: A Headspace Lesson and a Brownells Rant/Experience
I don't know what you're trying to build, and I think you said you already ordered another BCG, but this is the lightweight BCG I bought for my wife's lightweight build.

Re: A Headspace Lesson and a Brownells Rant/Experience
Hold on now, did this "Smith" drop a no go in and let the bcg fly? You know it’s a gauge not a slug. You remove the extractor, ejector and gently push the bcg home until it stops. You paid an idiot to screw your shit up, if I am reading this correctly. Why else would it be stuck other than letting it fly? Books it’s all in books. Books on Gunsmithing are not wasted money. Now you need your extension checked out for damage.

Re: A Headspace Lesson and a Brownells Rant/Experience
Yeah I don't know what the dumb fuck did but I'll take it to my normal go to shop next time, lesson learned. Nothing was damaged though but I'll have my normal smith check it out next week. I know how to check headspace myself, I just don't have the gauges. I guess that's next on my list before I build the next 3 guns i have waiting.

Re: A Headspace Lesson and a Brownells Rant/Experience
The Toolcraft NiB BCG from Joe Bob Outfitters passed! But upon further closer inspection of everything the locking latch on the SBA3 was broken from the gunsmith slamming it down on his workbench to get the no go out the last time. No worries though, they were more than willing to replace it for me and didn't charge me anything for the headspace check either so I'm happy.

Confirmation that your "gunsmith" is a moron.

Yea, not only did he slam it down on the brace, he did it fully extended as evidenced by the chunk of aluminum gouged out of the last notch on the buffer tube as the locking latch rolled the edge over.
Like I said, they made it right in the end. Finally this headache build is complete.Si vis pacem, para bellumμολ ν λαβέWhat country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms!
