[ARCHIVED THREAD] - is this ok?

Posted: 3/8/2006 7:35:11 AM EDT

I just put together a riffle from a kit from del-ton and shot it for the first time over the weekend. This is my first AR so I don't know too much about them. After shooting several rounds through the gun I noticed there there were brass marks on the piece that sticks out from the lower, right behind the bolt. I don't know if this is normal or not. If anyone cal help that would be great. I don't have any pictures yet, but I will try to get some. Thanks again

Normal. That pointy bump is a brass deflector, to keep the empties from coming straight back. The brass scuffs will clean off fairly easliy. If there are significant dents there, I might be concerned.

In fact I like my brass marks on my deflector.

It shows that I actually shoot my ARs and not just ~~finger fuck~~ admire them from afar.

Never seen marks on any part of the lower from the brass.
