The issue with the A2 Tubes was minor and only effected the lowers of 1st production. Corrected on 2nd production but a work around was available for 1st run (discounted JP SCS or a slight machining job to the A2 tube)
Adjustable triggers such as the TriggerTech ones was an issue with the rear lug on the upper receiver. A solution was found and all FA uppers have this mod completed. I think it was also done to some of the slick sides as well but ATRS will need to confirm that.

What has to be done to Geissele handguards? I have 15" Mk14's waiting
I believe you need to remove the alignment tabs as they won’t fit over the receiver.

98% of parts fit. The problem is there is just such a huge variation in AR15 parts. I've had to modify parts to fit other billet receiver sets in the past, not a big deal.
Yep I have the JP kit as well. Very nice.
Mods go without saying. If theres a will, theres a way. A few of my buddies were waiting for me to finish so they could get a feedback of the "Easy-button" parts. No doubt there are folks on here who appreciate it as well.
Nice to hear about the triggertech diamond. I see in the pics its a tight package. Would you recommend it over some other triggers you've tried? im thinking of getting a rise/lantac drop in.

Just typical anti-rotation tab fitment.

Shave it at an angle, paint it, but don’t use the the set screw though, it’ll damage the upper!

Just curious why won't the aero precision dust work?

reaction rods are a far better !
I second this!
The BEV block is designed to fit an AR15. The Modern Sporter is NOT an AR15, the geometry of the upper and lower is different. As others have said a reaction rod is the right tool for the job.

You are correct, and it interfaces with AR barrels which is what the MS uses. It does not interface with the MS recievers in any way unlike a bev block.
