Well crap.  I was hoping it wouldn't look like that.   I'm using the spring they sent and genuine OEM Glock mags, various caps, 33's, 15's and 17's.

I guess I could start playing around with the bolt catch spring and see what I can come up with.   Maybe clip a coil off or something.

Did you install the replacement spring they send? Also korean mags are usually crap the sgm ones or okay. Glock mags hold fine in my build.

Does it work with just an empty mag in the lower? I would say if it doesn't clip a coil or 2 if it does then you might have a bolt cycle issue. You could also try their technical support.

Hate to be thread crapping but it might help someone else.

On an empty mag handcycling the action it would catch rarely unless I really slammed it back.  Slow cycling by hand and I could see the bolt catch had another 1/16" of an inch travel outwards that wasn't happening, it wasn't getting stuck, it was going as far as the spring would push it, it just wasn't enough.  As in it needed to be pushed further.  When it did catch it seemed to be due to the force of the cycling rocking the catch that last little bit out.

So I knocked the pin out and stretched the spring a bit, about an 1/8" longer and put everything back. Difference was night and day.   It catches every time now hand cycling whether I slow cycle it or fast cycle it.   I may take it apart again and shim the hole or the detent instead of depending on the stretching to stick.

Range time will really tell the tale but things are looking a lot better.   Be another couple of weeks at least before i can get out and shoot, stupid job.

The problem appears to be one of a few things or a combination of tolerance stacking.  Either the bolt catch detent hole was drilled a little deep or the supplied QC10 replacement spring is a little short or my bolt catch is out of spec (LPK was from PSA) or some combination of the three.

Update on LRBHO uppper from NFA's facebook:

Good Morning! We just wanted to drop you guys a quick note with an update on the pistol caliber LRBHO uppers. We had a few hiccups with sub-contractors that were making a few small parts for us, but we found a new contractor that is expediting the order and we should have the parts very soon. There has been a huge demand for this product and we’re working the machines 24/7 making the uppers as fast as we possibly can now. We have some large dealer PO’s that will be getting filled, and as we have sufficient stock we will be adding them to the website immediately for smaller dealer orders and retail sales. You will be notified in small groups as they are available with an e-mail link to the product. Please pay close attention to the links you receive as you may be notified on both the RAW and anodized models availability. The first few batches are guaranteed to sell out very quickly because of the amount of people on the wait list for both the RAW finish and anodized versions of this product. If you don’t get to order in time when you do receive the notification, please click to join the waitlist again on the product you’re waiting for and you will be notified as soon as they come back in stock. We appreciate your patience and loyalty and promise that our new billet 9mm line won’t disappoint you! And as always the team at New Frontier Armory would like to thank you for your business and continued support!

Clever girl!  They put the activation lever on the outside of the upper...so it should be able to use any standard AR BHO, including BAD levers, perhaps...

The way they integrated LRBHO into the upper looks so hokey. I was
hoping for something a little cleaner looking than that.

I was referring more to the black bar to the left of the bolt catch, but that will blend in on an anodized upper.  I think I'm ok with the looks of it on a black upper.  But I'll prolly still user a larger seekins enhanced bolt catch to cover some of that up.

Finally finished up my 9mm build with the NFA lower. Runs perfect except I can't insert a full pmag with a closed bolt. I don't have any other mags to try. Anyone else have an issue with that or might it be a problem with the homemade glock cut on my bolt?
Link Posted: 11/24/2015 4:35:21 PM EDT

Full mag on a closed bolt is always going to be tough on a 9 in my limited (2) experience.  You're having to compress an already tightly compressed spring.  If it works okay on an open bolt or an empty mag and it hand cycles without hitting the mag then it's should just be the amount of 'oomph' it takes to compress that spring that extra bit so it'll go up far enough to catch and lock.

This.  I have a 9mm carbine using a Hahn magwell block.  When the bolt is back, no problem putting in a Metalform 32rnd mag fully loaded.  Bolt closed, I have to lean on the mag some for it to engage the mag catch.  Doesn't affect the operation at all...eats whatever I load into it.

Just a FYI for anyone thats been waiting on the LRBHO upper.  I've been on the waiting list for a few months. I received email notification Sunday that my number came up on the waiting list for the raw upper.  Ordered it and should be getting it in the next few days.

I went with the raw upper as I'll be mating it to a 80% lower I got a few months back and will re-finish them sometime this spring when the weather gets warmer.

This is good news. Just to confirm, the LRBHO upper is multi-cal (i.e. small frame glock) and not strictly 9mm, correct?

**EDIT** Answering my own question...multi-cal

I saw a local dealer has a complete lower.  Some questions please:

-What is with the 1/2x36 thread pitch on their barrels from NFA?
-Can you use any barrels with their receivers?

I want to SBR it and use an Octane 9 on it.

My understanding is that 1/2-36 is commonly used on 9 mm barrels to "idiot proof" them as 1/2-28 threads would accept an undersized .223/5.56 through hole muzzle device which is not a desirable installation.  Of course, there are also a number of  9 mm capable muzzle devices with female 1/2-28 threads.

The New Frontier Armory 9 mm Glock magazine lower based firearm that I assembled includes a DPMS Lo-Pro upper receiver having a Spikes Tactical 9 mm barrel (which has a 1/2-28 threaded muzzle with a thread protector installed).  So far (about 50 rounds), the performance has been satisfactory.

Best of luck with your project!

MHO, YMMV, etc.

That was the reason I asked the question above. There's zero evidence that these have actually been sent out to anyone, anywhere. No big deal, really. Let's hope NFA is tweaking and perfecting the mechanism and in six weeks they have more than enough stock for everyone.

That's not the same upper with the "last round bolt hold open" feature for their 9mm lowers that everyone here is talking about.  The side charger is nice too but it's not what we've been waiting on NFA to finish.  I'm holding out for some early reviews on how well the LRBHO feature works.

Got my LRBHO upper today and finally got my rifle together. Unfortunately there is some sort of issue between the bcg and the extractor (metal piece that sticks out the top of the lower). I cannot operator the bolt, it looks like the BCG is hitting the extractor when it should be sliding over it. I took the extractor off and can move the bcg back and forth with easy. Has anyone else had an issue with the extractor?

Edit: I had originally taken the ejector off when I thought about having my lower cerakoted, didn't end up happening. I just notice when I put it back on and tighten it the front part had cocked upward causing an interference with the BCG. Still had a little trouble so I filed now the ejector a little bit and the BCG moving freely, but now ejector will not ejector rounds.

This is the BCG I have.

How much is it hitting it? A lot or a little? I had a similar problem with mine building a 40 carbine. Had around over the back of the extractor and take some off the top and sides so it would not drag on the BCG.  Not to mention, had major issues with magazines fitting the magwell properly. Finally got everything to run but it took a hell of a lot of work to make it happen. I won't buy another one of these from New Frontier.

I received instructions with my Joe Bob Spartan lower that stated you may have to adjust the ejector. You have to loosen the screws and slightly lower it until it barely clears.

Edit: I had originally taken the ejector off when I thought about having my lower cerakoted, didn't end up happening. I just notice when I put it back on and tighten it the front part had cocked upward causing an interference with the BCG. Still had a little trouble so I filed now the ejector a little bit and the BCG moving freely, but now ejector will not ejector rounds.

This is the BCG I have.


How reliable is the lrbho mechanism?


They've just been released.  Give it a few weeks & we'll know.
