Bought from Red X Firearms a 16" RXA-308 FLUTED MODULAR UPPER HALF
Then bought a stripped lower from Alex Pro Firearms. They fit together but when I charge the bolt the bolt release is stuck will not budge so I can not send bolt home. I am guessing the bolt release is too small and the upper is too wide. How do I fix this or what kind of bolt release do I buy to fix this? |

yes it moves freely with upper off. once you add upped it is a SNUGGGGG fit.
I used the bolt that came with the complete upper from Red x firearms. But since the lower is from alex pro that is the issue. I have several ar-10 bolt releases so I took one and used a dremel and shaved it so wasn't so thick and is working now. Short term fix not long term. Need to find a bolt release that will work with this mix match upper and lower. . This is my first ar-10 to build and man is it different than 15s....... |

I switched to the DPMS LR-308 bolt catch after several broke on my Aero builds... so far, no problems. I think they are about $8 from Brownell's. |
