So I was putting together another rifle. This time I ordered the upper compete. Went to cycle a round and wouldn't cycle. Thought it was the ejector. Mic'd and compared to the other ejector I had and they were good.

Noticed the bolt wouldn't seat all the way when closed. Took the bolt out and I could seat the round in it.

They sent me an upper with the wrong bolt. Glad I didn't slap it on and went off to shoot.

Check your parts for fit and finish. This one surprised me. A lot of parts being shipped out these days working a lot of people a lot of hours.

Good bolt 7.62



Matches the round


Wrong one. Eyeball could hardly tell it was small. Dial caliper doesn't lie. Looks like it's for a 6.8 based on some homework I die on casing diameters

Acme machine.

AKA the only place with one available at the time. Came with extra mounts and a nice compensator. Their customer service guy responded way early this morning and is shipping out another.
