You realize we have a phone right ? And that 99% of the time we answer it during regular business hours ? If you need an answer right away you can call us and get a real live person to answer your questions / concerns. This keyboard warrior crap is just ....yeah.
As for your screw we have it coming back to you in an envelope this afternoon. We remove them because some of them screw up the fire controls and the rifles won't cycle properly with them in. In fact, about 2/3 of the rifles we got from BL and so far all of the ones we got from the US don't even have the screw in it from the factory. I can only surmise they thought it was a good idea at first but then realized it caused more problems that it was worth. Same with reversing the spring for the magazine safety. Keep it the way it should be and the rifle fires perfectly. Switch it around and it can cause problems in some rifles. Our best guess is that the recoil impulse messes with it during firing when it's installed in reverse. These are not, ahem, precision guns by any means and are therefore all a little bit different in how they fit. We have converted 100+ guns so far and have a 'pretty good' idea of what will work and what will not.
Can I get back to finishing everyone else's barrels now ? Excellent....and now back to our regular scheduled programming.
We have another 80x of the barrels and thread adapters coming from bluing early next week. If your pre-order starts with a 18### then watch for an email / phone call to ask you what you would like us to do with your barrel, hold it for install or ship it. Trying like the Dickens to get more OD Green donor rifles as well but so far things are not promising in the near future. Will post about that soon...
