I did put the upper together myself. I bought the BCG separateNot sure if anyone asked... Did you build the upper yourself, or did you get a pre-assembled upper?
If pre-assembled: Did it come with the BCG or did you buy that separate?
Can you freely and easily move the BCG into and out of battery with your hand/charging handle? I wouldn't even worry about the lower until we make sure the upper is sorted. Keep it simple and ensure proper function before we complicate it any more than necessary.
Sure and I agree. Where I am is in a small community. As it is, I've got more experience than those around me. The ten or so AR15 that all worked gave me a false sense of ability. There was a Co. about 100 miles from here that gave an AR15 armorer's course. We put AR15's together and took them apart for a couple of days. No problem shooting or AR10's. If I have to buy a new AR10 for this guy, a good friend of mine since retiring here, I'd be glad to. I want to learn some how and I'm open to suggestions.You never answered whether it would go into battery with no ammo. If that gas tube is the wrong application and too long like it appears, it probably will not go into battery as it is bottoming out in gas key. You need to get the right length gas tube for the application. To be totally blunt it is apparent you got in over your head and do not have the proper understanding of the components involved and how they interact. My suggestion at this point is to involve someone directly who has experience with this type of build and get it sorted out correctly. I also suggest not building for someone else until you have many successful builds of your own under your belt.
. Thanks
