THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Shot mine for the first time today, enjoyed it a lot. Very accurate, and I actually like the trigger.

Spent all afternoon looking at videos/reading about how to take it apart and put it back together. I think I did the reassembly correctly, except the bolt sticks out of the back about a 1/16" from the receiver- it's not flush as I thought it should be. Is this normal?? When I cycle the bolt it works fine, and fires. But I didn't pay attention to see if the bolt was like this prior to disassembly.

I also couldn't get the LCI pin out with a magnet or pliers- any other suggestion?

I had to whack it a few times with a rubber mallet during disassembly/reassembly- I hope that gets easier.

Thanks for you kind replies to a tired subject.

Disregard- I finally saw a few pics where the bolt is not flush with the receiver.

It will loosen up after a while, just keep shooting!

Try squeezing in on the LCI a little bit when you are trying to get the pin out. Doing that along with a strong magnet gets it out every time for me.

Thanks, I got it out with no problem once I squeezed the LCI. I also put in Bam's bushing, and it's really nice now.

Still gotta bang the crap out of the grip to get the barrel/receiver to sit correctly.
