That is one sweet rig, pretty much exactly what I want to build.
Just curious, what is the total weight of your rifle?

Thats not to bad. I'd love to hear how that BA barrel shoots when you get out with it.
I'm hoping it can hold some decent groups, that is the barrel I'm planning on getting.
Nice rig! Any issues fitting the B.A.D. lever?
None whatsoever; direct fitment.
I would say it definitely looks a little thinner than other receivers I've seen. But being that it's just a holding point for a pivot pin, and there is still over 50% of the pin diameter of material on either side, I'm not overly concerned.
If it's a dustcover for an AR-15, it should fit. The only modification you may need to do is take a small round file and remove some material on the inner part of the upper where the spring-detent latches, as it seems common people have found there's too much material there to have reliable retention while closed without doing so.
Hey do anybody have an hyper fire elite installed? Jus wondering if I need to install the toggle yoke?
And question 2
My aero precision bolt catch/release don’t line up perfectly, one or the other is out of spec.
As you can see in the picture it needs to move forward about a 1/16 of an inch.
I can get it in there but it gets jammed up.
I could remove some material off of the rear of it maybe?

A few days ago, I decided to upgrade my firearm setup by installing the Precision Armament Hypertap muzzle brake (5.56; 1/2x28; slim body). Huge shoutout to the gunsmith team at RVS for their expertise and support during this process—they were absolutely fantastic.
Here’s what happened:
When I first purchased my firearm (Crypto), the original flash hider was completely loose. The folks at FOC tightened it properly at the time, but when I later tried to remove it, it was impossible to unscrew on my own. That’s where RVS came in.
When they removed the original flash hider, we hit an unexpected snag. The new muzzle brake only threaded about one to one-and-a-half rotations before completely stopping. We double-checked the specs and thread compatibility—everything matched. It turns out the issue likely stemmed from excessive anodizing on the barrel threads during manufacturing, making it difficult to mount the brake.
Thanks to the skill and persistence of the RVS team, they managed to fully thread both the nut and the brake. However, there’s now a 2.5mm gap between the nut and the brake.
Here’s the big question: Is it safe to shoot in this condition?
Again, a huge thanks to the RVS gunsmiths for their outstanding work on what turned out to be far from a straightforward installation.
Looking forward to your suggestions!

Here’s the big question: Is it safe to shoot in this condition?
- Should the nut be tightened flush against the brake, or is leaving it as-is acceptable?
- The brake itself is securely tightened and will be extremely difficult to remove.
