NEA /BCL 15 Ambi Bolt release installation

[A2409611]

I'm about ready to assemble my NEA 15 lower, but I'm a little bit confused, by the ambi bolt release that was included. Could anyone, provide a detailed description of how the parts should be oriented.

 

[alltieear]

place ambi bolt release into slot of receiver.

use screw provided to keep it secure.

use silver plunger provided instead of one provided in lpk.

Yup, easy as that. Dont over think it. Not a bad system for the price paid

Which way should the narrow end of the provided shiny pin face?, and how should my spring fit over it. Im sorry but im super new to AR 15s

im not sure if it matters because the plunger is theorically supposed to work from either sides. so pressing 1 side affects the other.

but, i put the spring inside first then the plunger after it. so that the plunger is touching the regular bolt catch.

someone else might have to confirm this

oops. mis-read your question.

narrow part fits into the spring

So I assume the first step is to use the screw to attach the bcl lever ?

yes thats correct.

 

[A2409611]

yes thats correct.

Okay, I fit it all together, and reached a sudded realization of how it works. I feel so dumb rn. Anyways, thanks for the help

With the AR, things are usually easier than they first appear - almost the exact opposite of the M14, where things are always more complex than they appear.

no problem haha. half the reason why i opted to build the lower myself. you get to learn how each part works

One more quick question, will the BCL 15 lower, take a milspec 6 position tube, or is it some weird commercial spec?

 

[Dr. Hunter]

The lower receiver just has threads so you can put in whatever buffer tube you want

Anyone know where I can source this? Have sent messages to both ammo source and bcl directly to no avail, my upper and lower set came without this, and it appears a regular bolt release won't do. Any help appreciated.
