Hard to rack and doesnt fully lock into battery unless i let off the trigger entirely

    Deal shes in no rush for it and i still have to install a rear sight lol. I was going to drop it on my lower and shoot the piss out of it to break it in, but my 9mm target ammo stock is low

    I've had no issues. Strange. I'd give them a call. It was definitely tight at first but has broken In fast

    Figured it out. I’m a dumbass is what it is. When i installed the safety plunger, the spring kicked out and laid down sideways in the hole.

    Only figured it out after i had the same thing happen to the g26 when i reassembled from the 25 cent trigger job 😅 lol

    I’m still a bit disappointed in the finish though. The ridge/orange peel spot in the cerakote where it looks like it got contaminated irritates me. Light sand paper would knock it down, but its the principle of the matter

    Maybe i’ll shoot it at pistol league on sunday if i can get the rear sight installed. She may get lucky and end up with truglo’s instead of factory plastic sights since i dicked up the brand new rear trying to push it in the dovetail…

    yeah looks like air cure vs heat cure, heat cure after it flashes usually will flatten a lot of that out if it runs and that's only if you lay it on thick. I use heat cure I made a heat cabinet lol but it works.

    Had this 4.5” cmmg 22lr barrel/bolt group for a while, have a 22 suppressor in jail I’m waiting on so I decided to build a pistol with a new stripped aero lower I had sitting in the safe.

    Build specs:
    Cmmg 4.5” dedicated 22 barrel
    Cmmg stainless 22 bolt group
    Palmetto M4 upper
    22 half port ejection door
    KAK 5” key mod rail
    KAK slim line flash can
    SB pistol brace
    Sig romeo5 rds ( good enough for a 22 )
    Aero precision flip up sights.

    Fired a bunch of different 22 through it first time out and it ate everything 100%.

    I’ll probably form 1 it when my suppressor gets approved.
