    Did you pop a primer that is now lodged in the trigger mechanism?

    Like Jim Beam said above, try wiggling it around a bit to find the sweet spot. You may have to tweak the barrel nut a little.

    something is binding or not seated properly...15-20 is way too much for a trigger pull. Have you taken it apart?

    What red dot + 3x setup is that? Vortex?

    This is a video I saw how to install the Magpul SL handrail that many had trouble with. Im not sure if it is anything like the one you have, but it may help as i see others describing the same process to install yours as the Magpul one.

    I have had small piece of brass mess up operation of firearms, one of the weirdest was an sks where a piece of brass got stuck under the bolt and it would fire but the second shot wouldnt lock into position. I finally noticed a piece of brass and had to remove it with my knife after that it worked fine.

    Thank you, I was aware of it. It was more making a statement for those that may not have been aware how long it's been

    So a little update on Caligula's Obsessive Compulsive AR Build.

    I took it to Addax Tactical in San Fernando. Tiny shop but very nice guys there. Their gunsmith pointed out that this thing was not maintained at all, and probably had over 1000 put through it. The barrel pin holes were not a concern for him as much as the mangled barrel nut, he said it looks like they did not have the right tool, probably hammered it in place. Also he thinks the AAL muzzle device was cracked during pinning and rewelded. @Polymerhead it looks like you called this earlier.

    Their gunsmith said if anything, he could tear down the upper, check and reinstall everything, replace barrel nut and check headspace. They would charge about $80 for this. Im debating whether I should demand reimbursement for that from Choi in lieu of just refunding the upper. I would have no problem finding his address with the crumb trail hes left online, and Im considering small claims court if he continues to refuse to communicate.

    @Sleipnir @Old Marine Cal
    I contacted one of the admins on Calguns, as they advise to do that first when there is a marketplace dispute. I gave him all the info, and he said it was fine to post up the following in his thread.

    Well written thread, responded on caalguns.

    What he doesn't realize , the gun community in California is not that huge.
    He is committing suicide by not making this right.

    I have bought two guns from there
    Both were straight up guys who let me field strip them.
    My M&P shield, I actually fired.

    Hope this guy makes it right, but I will remember him, never buy anything from him.
