Hello All,

It's not my first go at a build from a stripped upper, however, after getting the forward assist and ejection port cover correct, and gently lubing the BCG and upper, I found the BCG to be...  snug.

I got it in after rocking it back and forth a bit, but I find now that it is stuck forward in the receiver.  There's about an inch of room in which it can wiggle freely, but will go no further back.  I've tried rocking and pushing it, and it would seem everything short of smashing the thing out from the front, but I thought I'd sneak advice first.  I do NOT

Recap: Installed everything normally on the upper minus the barrel, tested BCG fit and got it forward after some resistance, but BCG is now stuck forward.

Anyone have any experience with such an issue?  I can provide manufacturer (same for both upper and BCG) if deemed relevant, but I wish not to libel them prematurely.

Please advise  Thanks!
