Ok, so I have a issue that's probably something very simple to fix or either something is wrong with the bolt.

I took apart my BCG to clean it and wipe down the factory lube. Well, the problem is I can't get the bolt to go back into the bolt carrier. The gas rings are impeding (in the way) of the bolt entering back into the carrier. I've tried finicking with the gas rings to try and align them around the carrier entrance so it will slide back in to no positive results. Has anyone run into this issue before? Are the gas rings too loose (moving out too far)? I've never seen or ran into this issue before with any bolt that I've ever had. I don't get it.

Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Lol, nevermind. I fixed it.

The rings are just very hard to tight with the carrier and you have you use you finger to compress them all in alignment then push with abnormal force when putting the bolt back into the carrier.

I don't really know why LWRC put gas rings on the bolt to begin with since this isn't a DI gun.
