Why not file/sand the LPK parts instead of the receiver itself?
That's what I did to my Gen 1 NEA receivers.
because the receiver is the problem. the upper has places that prevent mags from seating properly. A hammer is hardened steel, the trigger control box is aluminum, a quick 2mm off with a file versus a lathe or grinder.

It's pathetic that one should have to file/grind/sand/mill a $1000 receiver set. Fix your ####, MacDef.
As we know, not all parts are compatible with the MDI SLR. I was really hoping to run a lightweight BCG in my SLR, so I bought the 2A Armament Titanium Regulated Bolt Carrier (RBC). Unfortunately, when it came time to put my BCG in the upper, my excitement turned to dread.
The 2A Armament Titanium Regulated Bolt Carrier (RBC) is not compatible with the MDI SLR.
So, the RBC will likely be up on EE shortly, and now my search begins to find a lightweight BCG that is proven to be compatible with the SLR.
Does anyone have a proven lightweight BCG that actually fits, runs, and is compatible with the SLR?
Thanks

What's the deal with the BCG? Shouldnt any ar BCG work? Or am I missing something here?
I thought the same....
I guess there are different tolerances, and MDI says that their upper is on the tighter side of the spectrum. So, it would appear that the 2A BCG is on the larger side of the spectrum and doesn't fit in the SLR. I did test the 2A BCG on another AR and it fit fine, although tighter than the original BCG that came with the AR.
Anyways, waste of money getting the 2A for the SLR....
That has me worried. I read a review how the barrel torque tool from TNA might not work with the SLR, and I bought it...
Can you just sand down the bcg to fit in the SLR ? Make it even lighter
I was thinking the exact same thing, and even MDI suggested doing that. Problem is, what if I by sanding down the BCG I don't do it evenly and it is no longer centric, then the BCG is worth nothing. But, I could sell it probably for a big loss, but at least get something for it....
I might try it though, as the bolt is regulated and I did not get an adjustable gas block for that reason alone...so, might get brave....

I've just finished my build, and the barrel torque tool from TNA would not fit either.......,, but I made it fit by using a belt sander (one that's used for knife making) and literally polished / removed a minuscule amount of material off the barrel torque tool. (Btw, it would also not fit into a NEA / Bcl build that I recently completed)
The Brownells low mass bcg fits and is damned nice for the money. I have 1 in NiB and 1 Nitride.
The Magpul BEV block fits, as well as with the BCG and charge handle since the pin is obviously useless on the SLR.
TNA torque tool doesn’t fit!? That was the main selling point of that tool! Does anyone know what the ID of the upper receiver is? I’d like to confirm if my BCG will work.

The early, first batch of torque tools may not fit (like from way back in February). These were made from common 1" bar stock. More recent editions are 25mm bar stock which is narrower and have worked fine in all maccabee receivers that we have tried. We're glad to refund or replace any torque tool that doesn't fit the SLR
What about the double ended tool? Ar10/ar15
