Hello everyone,

Long-time lurker. I recently ordered several parts from PWS and they were not up to my expectation. I was just curious as to your experience with PWS.

Today I received a 16.1" DI barrel, which was flawless except for a noticeable nick in the barrel that can be felt when you run your finger over it.

This is not the reason I post, as this is just possibly a manufacturing defect or happened while in transit.

The main reason why I post is as follows:

The buffer has reciprocating weights in it. I didn't expect them to be sliding around so noticeably, is that normal?

Lastly, with regards to their complete BCG, I received it and noticed immediately that the bolt is apparently stuck. It doesn't reciprocate and can't be removed.

I was curious if anyone has had any experience with this product from PWS.

Any tips on how to remove the bolt from the carrier? I can say for certain that there is absolutely NO lube on it. Could it be wedged?

I will update you to the progress of my situation.

Kind regards,

D

P.S.: I can provide pictures if required

Barrel:  cosmetic IMO; won't affect function.

Buffer weights:  normal; that's how they buffer, by reciprocating.

Stuck bolt:  where is it stuck?  BCG stuck in upper or bolt stuck in carrier?  Sounds like bolt in carrier from your last statement.  You could try putting some form of oil/lube on it and trying again.  It should be totally free to move but should move with a little bit of force.

It is stuck in the carrier.

And it won't budge from the carrier. Perhaps ill try to put some lube in it.
