Modern Sporter builds Q&A

Next week I’ll let you know, it’s at the gunsmith getting a thread protector.

It’s the True North Arms overstock barrel, machining on it looks not that great.

I don't care about the barrel or accuracy, it's if it can physically throw the brass out the ejection port properly
 
Just grind some off? On a second note how the heck do you have your upper. I ordered mine over 6 months ago and still have 3 months wait. Lucky duck

Ok, thanks for confirming that the issue is with the SI FA assembly.

It's not inserting the bcg that's the problem with mine. It's getting it back out that is swear word inducing hahaha. Kinda sucks because I have 5 of the SI kits. Oh well




I may do this to one and see how it goes but I'm not convinced it will work properly afterwards. There's quite a bit needing removed.




I started ordering lowers before the horse cops agreed that they weren't too scary to sell to us peasants lol..

Also was one of the people bugging Rick for forward assist uppers before he decided to go ahead with making them. Ordered as soon as they could be ordered.

If ya wanna play ya gotta be quick man....

I literally ordered the F/A the day they were available on the website. Not sure how I could be be quicker. But oh well.
 
So is this an issue with all forward assist buttons ? Or only the strike buttons because I grabbed a strike one also.

I stripped a FA from a Colt upper and it wasn't a problem. I think I used a Milspec FA from a pack I bought from RDSC and didn't have a problem. So I think the problem is with Strike.

The people from the first run who ordered uppers are getting their uppers first. The first run was sold out on September 6th. Cant make people who got on board before the frt was even issued wait with a lower in hand and no upper while people with no lower are getting their uppers. And everything goes in sequence.

Sort of, we're also not shipping out uppers to people in the second run until their lowers are ready UNLESS SPECIFICALLY requested, and even then we're cautioning against it, because we'd like the opportunity to put the two parts together before shipping to provide one last step for quality control to catch anything out of place. Something we learnt from the first run.

Hahaha just my luck I bought 5 of what is so far the only one that is known not to work.

I'm going to grind a bit off the end of one of mine so it isn't sticking out into the receiver but haven't had a chance yet. When I try one, if it still won't work right do you have any recommendation for an aftermarket FA that HAS been confirmed to work?

The mil-spec one I installed functions 100% but I was looking to go with something a little nicer for the rest of my builds.

I am in the same boat, i want a nice looking FA, if anyone has any strike fa they want to sell for a slight discount I need a couple for some standard uppers.
