I figured it might be a dumb question since the bolt is meant to slam closed during normal operation. Just wasn’t sure if it was different with the upper and lower being separated when the bolt moved into the closed position. Live and learn, thx!

It is different. If you move the upper slightly forward the buffer retainer may have to stop the forward travel of the buffer instead of the carrier that normally stops the buffer slightly off the pin. Could result in a broken buffer retaining pin and or dent in the edge of the buffer where it hit the pin. It is not a good thing to do and is not part of the normal firing cycle where the buffer is stopped short of hitting the retaining pin.

I can see the buffer retaining pin is fine, visually checked and it’s holding the buffer tube normally. Where would I check for the dent, on the buffer tube itself?

The buffer tube/receiver extension is the fixed part that holds the stock and would not be affected at all.
If the buffer hit the retaining pin hard enough there would just be a little dent on the front very outside edge of the buffer itself where it contacted the retaining pin. |

So I checked again, the retainer pin is solid. All I can see on the buffer is a tiny dent on the edge which I assume doesn’t matter? Anything else to inspect? Thx again

Nothing much to check really I know of past the buffer retaining pin being okay. I would not worry about a little dent on the edge of the buffer.
