The final two pieces came for the AR today, and were waiting for me when I got home. Couldn't wait to throw it together. Cycled it a few times and noticed some wear on the BCG...wondering if it's normal. For some reason I can't post pics here but you can see pics on my post here My AR Let me know if I should be worried. Here is a list of my build.

 

-BCM standard 16" mid-length upper (permanently attached YHM Phantom muzzle break and shaved bayonet lug...thanks Paul at Arms & Ammo)

-PSA stripped lower

-PSA lower parts kit

-Magpul MOE handguard

-Magpul MOE grip

-Magpul MOE stock (pinned)

-Spikes BCG

-BCM Gunfighter charging handle mod 4 medium latch

-Magpul 20 round pmag (permanently blocked to 15)

-GRG carry handle (cheap $23 amazon purchase to get this thing shooting...after the holiday season I plan on picking up a magpul rear sight and maybe a Primary Arms red dot)

 

This was a lot of fun to build...so much so that I already purchased another PSA lower for a second build. Let me know what you all think. Will probablt hit the bullet hole up on Saturday morning to see how it works. Can't wait to throw some ammo down range with this puppy!

Sounds great, where is the pics?

cant see the pics on the other site...

That sucks...maybe you need to be a member...when i go there the pics are at the bottom of the post...you need to click on the thumbnails but they're there...I tried to upload but gives me some jargon about 474k of 500k global something or other used...no idea what that means...really wish I could figure it out...I love showing this thing off!

Ya I had to sign in over there to see the pics. Just upload them to photobucket or something then you can put them here. How to post pictures using Photobucket

 

Rifle looks good btw.

thanks a lot. I'll try the photobucket thing tomorrow after work...got to catch some zzzz's

imgur.com works well too. I want to see the damn thing

Here ya go, Ill put them up for you for now until you can get to do it tomorrow.

 

Thanks for doing that man. Will sign up for photobucket tonight. What do you all think about the wear mark on the BCG? Normal?

No problem, glad I could help.

As for the wear, I looked at mine and it doesnt have any wear on it in that area. The BGC shouldnt be contacting anything in that area at all actually. Almost looks like its rubbing on the inside of the buffer tube.

Yeah that's what I thought too. I rubbed my finger on the inside of the receiver and buffer tube but couldn't feel anything.

Can you see any rub marks on the inside of the tube? Or anywhere else in the upper?

Really couldn't see anything. Going to field strip it and give it a good inspection when I get home. Should I be concerned? Haven't fired it yet, hoping to get out Saturday.

I appreciate the help by the way...I definitely owe you a beer!

Main thing to be concerned about is if you are shooting weak ammo, extra friction on the BCG may cause short stroking.

Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a good look over tonight when I get home. I checked last night but couldn't see anything. Checked the receiver and buffer tube. I'll post again later if I find anything.

I went over this thing a bunch of times and I just can't figure it out. Everything seems to be functioning alright so I guess we'll find out Saturday when it goes for the test run. If anyone has any other thought I'm all ears.
