[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can't get my new AR15.com BFL to stick to my lower receiver

It's the 1" sticker from the arfcom store.

Are they made only to stick onto glass or something?

Tips?

I had the same problem, ordered 3, ruined them all trying to get them to stick, they should send instructions with them.

did you use alcohol to clean the lower before trying to stick it on? if there's CLP or anything on there it won't stick properly.

It's clean and dry.

The one I tried it on first isn't even a complete rifle yet. Not barrel or BCG yet, so it doesn't have any gun juice in it.

You first problem is trying to put a sticker on your weapon in the first place...

That is your lower's way of saying, "hey jackass, I'm not a bumper".

I had no problems putting 1 on my old RAZR and 2 on my hardhat. WTF are you people doing with them?

I had recently ordered a 2" and 3" sticker and ended up having problems with the 3" sticking.

I got in touch with JLA, who apparently handles things related to the store, and informed him about the problem. He told me that some 3" and 4" stickers had been printed on static cling material instead of sticker material. Check and see if that is the problem with yours. If so, just get in touch with him and he'll make it right.

Unless you cleaned it off with break cleaner or something similar, it was covered in a light oil from the manufacturing process.
