No I haven't done that. The only other lower I have is my M4 lower and that'd obviously be a no no. I appreciate the offer but I'm gonna wait till I install the new catch and go shoot it. I will PM you if I decide to take you up in that offer.
That was one of my earlier thoughts but shooting my M4 16" upper on that pistol lower, same issue with the BCG, wouldn't lock back. That threw me off a bit but I like the pistol so one way or another...... I'll get to the bottom of this.
The original carbine spring from the Stag M4 was used originally. That spring is the lightest out of the 4 springs I have. I've used the one out of my spikes M4, the Stag spring (one I just mentioned), and my new Wolff and Colt..... same result, no BCG lock back after last round.
Ya my package from MidwayUSA will be here on the 25th and I plan on taking the GF shooting on her birthday next month so That's when I'll be testing the new catch lever.
No it's a pistol length gas tube. It's even shorter than the M4 gas tube.....it's kinda cute and adorable lol. I wanna replace it with a melonite coated gas tube eventually.
Good to know--I personally won't do a poly lower without 'em for structural-strength reasons, and with the current build being a poly-lower pistol that's gonna be a double-whammy.
They are an absolute must for the M&P 15/22 since the pins walk out and next thing you know it's double tapping.
