We finally machined the 80% AR10. Turns out the fire/safety detent hole is drilled at an angle preventing the fire/safe selector switch from operating correctly. We drilled the selector switch hole in the jig (EasyJIg Gen2) and it's perfect.
The fire/safe detent hole from the mfg is drilled at an angle preventing the detent pin from engaging the fire/safety switch in the correct position.
I called and subsequently 'sent' images to Moriarti Armaments advising them of the issue. (I even included my BANK PAYMENT) Now they're telling me they won't exchange it because it's been machined. That would be ok except, there's no way to know the detent hole was/is drilled wrong from the mfg until the fire/safety hole is drilled.
Unless I'm missing something like my Xray vision?
Here's the conversation.. & the images I sent them.
No "management/higher ups" ever called or contacted me.
3.no problem at all we will solve this as soon as possible for you thank you for your patience. On Tue, Jun 28, 2022 at 2:16 PM, Dan wrote: Thank you, I really appreciate it.
4.I have been told by the higher ups "we can only take unmilled lower back. if there was any work done, we can't take it back. needs to be checked prior drilling. that's 80% lower"
The image with the green paper is my lower with a drill bit in the detent hole. The other is the same drill bit in the defective lower that Moriarti Armaments apparently wants not to replace.
The last image is the defective lower in the jig showing a clean aligned hole for the safety selector switch.

1. after speaking with management, we cannot swap the upper after it has been drilled and if the issue is the jig you would have to contact new frontier armory which are the makers of the jig. On Tue, Jun 28, 2022 at 1:19 AM
