tony357 386 Posted December 21, 2020 So i ordered strike micro stock from ar15.com it is lost in usps system local post office confirmed that sales rep would have to file lost claim and ship me another product, well they will not do that and sent me an email once it is shipped it is out of their hands. I will no longer do business with them and that was my 1st purchase from them. Had my bank do grievance on my card for refund. USPS confirmed that all their other parcels from that date were delivered except mine. Oddly enough i ordered another one Monday from optic planet that was delivered today by FedEx and was left on my neighbors porch. same product two different carriers and retailers and i had to hunt the second one down when notified of delivery. crazy.

geekLa 10 Posted December 27, 2020 Good luck with your build! I have 2 NJGF lowers. Need to allocate some time to the builds, thinking about a 6.5 Grendel for upstate NY hunting (fixed mag to avoid NY laws) and some sort of 22LR plinker. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 22lr conversion kit That i purchased from Lunker some time ago i may have to give it a try. Most likely will try it out on my Bushmaster.

tony357 386 Posted December 27, 2020 When installing the Bolt Catch i used a tooth pick to hold catch in and used it as a guide for the roll pin when i punched it in, that roll pin goes in from the stock side That worked real good for me as that pin is right up against the lower. Made like a third hand for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony357 386 Posted December 31, 2020 Ra into an issue with strike industries m-lok free float rail and the Adams Arms gas piston conversion kit. The barrel nut for the rail does not have adequate space for gas rod bushing and spring, had to relieve the area by grinding with sand paper roll in Dremel. Aquired the correct spacing from a standard barrel nut with caliper and relieved necessary area until all parts were free and operated correctly.

tony357 386 Posted December 31, 2020 This is where the bushing sits on standard barrel nut. this was my issue with the striker nut for rail. Hole for rod does not line up bushing sat on top of nut. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
