Gentleman and ladies respectively, Recently, I aquired an AR that was a mixmatched throw together. Considering that it was given to me, I won't complain about the abundant problems that I have encountered. Many were solved by purchasing a new DPMS flat top, chrome lined upper. However, the lower is still giving me a myriad of problems. For one, I think that the bolt catch spring is too strong (I believe that it is a long spring that has been cut down), which means that the mag follower doesn't have enough umph to do it's job. However, I have been exploring the possibility that the bolt catch may need to be stoned down to provide less resistance. Also, some of the internals need to be swapped out, and I would like to know which parts kit would be recommended, if anyone would be willing to share. Considering that the lower was made by Olympic Arms, I believe that this weapon still has potential to be built into a shooter. All in all, I am not a fan of "jerry rigging" a firearm, and would like to restore this one to a comfortable operating condition. So, any advice and suggestions would be welcomed warmly, and greatly appreciated. |

Get a new lower parts kit. I've used DPMS kits to good effect, though with your lower I would go with a higher quality LPK like a CMT/Stag or RRA. Denny's has a CMT LPK for $64 shipped. www.globaltactical.com/axami/shop.php?grd=235 |
