(m14) NEA op rod guide jamming
I've juste bought a NEA op rod guide for my norinco m14. It jams the action about half way or a bit more. At first i bought it was the bolt but no it really is that piece, i've switched back to the original fluted op rod guide and everything is fine. Manufacture problem from the part ? The gun ? Buy a new spring ? Too tight because of the finish ? (parkarizing or whatever that is) (Everything was brand new) I wrote to the ammo source, but no answer yet. Anyone help would be appreciated.
I putted that thread in the gunsmith part and got those replies:
Hi Frank, you will get better response posting this in the Main Battle Rifle Section

There are a few different issues that can crop up when swapping a guide rod.
If the barrel isn't indexed properly and the op-rod guide is loose, there could be a bit too much play in your oprod. Your factory stamped oprod guide rod will function, but a NM one won't.
The second most common issue I see with guide rods is; the tang (the bit that slips into the receiver) is too long and the recoil spring airs a bit away from the reciever. This can cause issues with short stroking and can cause an issue with the oprod binding.

John, i don't want to look like a retard but anyway i Can fix those issues ? Whats the usual play ? (Looks fairly stiff) feels like the second issue. I really cant pull the action all the way back. Could it be the machining tolerances of either the part or the gun ?
Yo momma, ill try an duplicate , thanks.
