As I've said over and over use Armalite roll pins...not the split roll pins that gouge up the bore when you drive it in.

Quoted: just recently got my hands on a receiver. so i immediately ordered the lower assembly. i had it completely together then, bam. no long than me putting the drive pin in the lip breaks. i seen discoloration in the forging. I am going to call the manufacturer or Monday. If they dont replace it i will give details. To all of you who think, it was probadly assembled wrong. you are crazy, this was about my 300 assembly/takedown. I spent 8 yrs in the army and 3 yrs of the 8 i was a armoror for a airbourne infantry company. Thats where the m-16/m-4 really get tested. I will let you guys know the outcome of tommorow and hopefully i wont have to drop any names.. Translation: (Long Version) I recently received a stripped lower, so I ordered a lower parts kit. I had it all assembled, except for the trigger guard. When I attempted to install the roll pin, without providing the proper support and by using a 3lb sledge, I broke the tab. At this time, I noticed the area around the broken tab was discolored. Since the area around the tab was discolored, it is a reject and the area was obviously defective. As a result of this manufacturing defect, it is their fault that the tab broke when I attempted to pound in the roll pin. I won't name the manufacturer of this defective lower, as it would not be right to crucify them until they have had a chance to replace my lower. To any of you who think I assembled it incorrectly, you are obviously mistaken as I have been in the Army for 8 years, 3 of which where as an armourer for an Airborne company, which as you all know is where the real testing of the M16/M4 was performed. I have assembled/disassembled over 300 M16/M4s and have never had this happen before. I know you will all be waiting for the results of my phone call to the manufacturer, so I'll let you know what happens, especially if they don't offer to replace the lower (at no charge). (Short Version) I got a lower and parts kit. I took the doo-hickey and tried to bang it into the thing-ama-jig and the damned doo-hickey snapped off. Since there was no one around to blame, I noticed the area was discolored, so I'm gonna call the manufacturer and blame it on their obviously inferior product. I'm letting you know so that you can boycott the company if they don't give me a new lower, and to make it sound legit, I'm not gonna tell you who the company is, unless they don't fix what I broke. For those who may question my ability, I thought of joining the Army at one time, and I've watched Platoon 3 times on TBS, so I know what I'm doing. You may notice that I don't use any of the terminology commonly used because in the Army the REAL names are classified. I don't know the unclassified terminology that you civilians use. Stand-by for my update so you can give these guys hell! |

Yep.
Let's all get some of those .250" diameter Armalite roll pins and pound them into the muzzles of our rifles. Run a couple of round thru 'er and shoot that sucker out. Then check the bore and see if there are any gouges in it. Can you believe this shit?? |

You meant the roll pin on the trigger guard?
Was it a cast reciever? Those are really easy to break. After I busted my first one by bending it only a little bit, I made up a block to fully support those ears when tapping it in. The forged recievers are much more forgiving. You can bend those ears 90 degrees without them busting off. I tried this on a raw forging I screwed up. |

believe it or not it was a forged receiver from Double Star.
I took it to the local gunsmith. He examined it and immediately said there was a difinite flaw in the casting. I am in the process of trying to get a new receiver from them. They difinitely sell substandard receivers. Dont get me wrong they do have some good parts but they are the parts that are manufactured for them. If you want a good receiver for the money go with olympic. |

ROFL here he goes again, I see this time he tried to be somewhat correct in his grammer, but still managed to make my head hurt. Dont know how a gunsmith could determine the reason for the breakage AFTER it broke, I'm sure a bent and broken tab could appear to be a defect to the untrained eye, which could apply to many gunsmiths. Also dont know why he would specifically recommend oly over other brands, many others are cheaper and reliable when assembled properly (IE: small hammer, support for tabs). |

Chances are pretty good that this guy does not have a CLUE.
My guess would be that Double Star has their lowers manufactured by a machine shop that makes other lowers such as RRA. SO, was it FORGED or CAST? i spint meny yeers in the Ormy and do not knowing a deffrance beetwen a FORGING or a CASTING but my hemmar hits vary hard when I worked on my new forcasting. edited to add: POST #420 |

On a serious note. When the lip of the receiver broke, I was light tapping it with a very small brass hammer. The roll pin was already started and was straight. The trigger guard was also in place and the lip was supported by a small piece of wood. The receiver should have gone together no problem.
I am just trying to say, dont waste your time on a Double Star lower. If you want a plinker use a Olympic, RRA, PWA, etc. If you have the money buy the Bushmaster or the Colt. If you get fired from your job like HOMO just kill yourself. |

If you get fired from your job like HOMO just kill yourself. Dude, there are only a few manufactures of lowers. You probably named two or three of the companys that use the same lower as Double Star. If you screwed up and broke it, forget about it and get another lower. Oh yeah, I have to ask: if you broke it how can you continue to use it? |

The flaw in the "FORGING" was actually pretty obvious. There was a blacken area running midway through the broken lip and the place where it seperated at the receiver.
Reguardless, Double Star receivers are potty. I attached it to my FN upper, the same upper my DMPS is mounted. When attached the play was extreme. The lower actually clung to the upper at the back radius so bad it had to be smacked loose. Double Star lower for sale..... |

It is actually pretty easy to operate a lower with one trigger guard lip broken, but attached.
It would just brake my heart to look down and see a crack in my rifle's receiver. Even the thought alone bothers me. Double Star claims they get there "FORGINGS" from the same company as Bushmaster. I do know for a fact that they do all the machine work on tthier own CNCs. FS/ Double Star lower complete(lowered) |
