Title: Need a little help with bolt
Post by: Blacklab on August 28, 2012, 05:18:19 PM: Need a little help with bolt
Hey all.
I received my AA 18in barrel upper an bolt the other day. Have it all together now the bolt won't engage the chamber. Could the barrel be to tight? I started @ 60 lbs then alined my gas block. On a prebuild all went together well then when I tightn it all up it seems to be hitting the top of the chamber. I already lossened the yh free float forarm. Is it posibble to tighten the barrel to tight? Any Ideas, it really has me scratching my head. No! I don't fleas :chuckle:. Thanks guys

I don't know how expire Ed you are with AR's? But check and see if your bolt is in correctly and not reversed with the extractor opposite the side it should be.
