very short lived. trigger felt great. when i got my BCG i dropped in in the upper and it got stuck. bolt wont lock back into the carrier. blah blah, thats another post.
the BCG getting stuck in the extension led me to take it all apart. while it was just the upper/lower i cycled the action. half way thru the pull it got heavy. really heavy. if i let go of the charging handle it would almost stay stuck all the way open and gradually retract. really i could let go and it would not snap back. i thought it was rubbing on the stock, nope. so i look at it. i pull back 2"-3" and it starts, just smooth resistance, but firm. hmmm i think, what could the BCG contact after that much travel? the timney. the hammer specifically, so i pull it out and install the factory trigger stuff back in and viola! there you go, no more heaviness. smooth as silk. well wet silk. ok wet dirty silk. none of that drag though, charge handle is fully functional now.
i was gonna put it together myself, but this other thing with the BCG not seating all the way with the barrel installed has me puzzled and i have not the experience to diagnose this.
whats the distance from the face of the barrel to the face of the extension supposed to be? are all 308 extensions the same size?
here is the deal. i drop in the BCG and it slides in and i go to close it up and i cant... i look and the BCG wont go all the way in. hmmm, i tip it up and it wont slide out. hmmm, i pull the handle and i feel it come out. it feels like it was wedged in there. i slide it in again, same results. at one point i had to do what i heard you guys talk about and pogo bounce it loose.
with the barrel off, the bcg fits it, the bolt retracts and the face meets the face of the extension. its oiled, it moves and the bolt cam pin is fine. what i think is that the bolt cam pit is catching and not lining up with the space in the upper that it locks into, its too early in the sequence. is that what thats for, the little bump on the uppers? am i getting that part right? when i slide the BCG in the upper, the bolt making contact and sliding back locks the cam pin into the receiver early and it may be than and more. after i get better info on the barrel specs its going to gap for assembly unless i can make it function.
like i said i dont know the mechanics and i am just kinda comparing it to an ar15 but this isnt quite working like it should.
bummer about the timney huh?
