| Thanks for all the help--- when I pull back on the charging handle about an inch it meets resistance. Is the bolt catching on something? or is this normal? I did put some slylicon (sp) grease on the tube walls but that shouldn' t hang the bolt up in this particular spot. |

You have about 1” of free play in the charging handle until it engauges |
Actually if you look closely, the charging handle doesn't pull the bolt carrier back from the gas key. The charging handle ledge engages the raised "lip" right in front of the gas key. |
Without going into great detail, yes I screwed the pooch in regards to the point of what the charging handle grabs on the BC when it pulls it back. This point is mute in regards to what overall the original poster was asking, with either the resistance being the lugs not mated or if he mean a little father back, the additional tension of the hammer being cocked, and the surface tension of new parts (hammer carrier tension binding, and the carrier not moving back freely. Having several people answered his question of possible problems, and the fact that he has not posted back, the original question has been solved, and now the after math from his problem is the guys get to have fun with me for my own mistake. I have no problem with this, and it’s actually given me a laugh/distraction that is dearly need in my life right now. If anyone is troubled by the response posts I made to my own mistake being pointed out, or I have taken the responses to my mistake in the wrong text (as the guys pointing out that I flawed and having a enjoyment at my behalf), then I can go back and delete my responses as to not offend the masses. As always, I apologies if I have offended anyone. Simply, with my own Karma coming back full circle in my current personal state of affairs (away from the site), I can take a back seat to the questions being asked, or stay the course of only responding with seriousness until I can regain my standard composer. J3, I truly thank you for the reality check, and now realize that I may have been seeing the response posts to my mistake in the wrong perspective. Dano |

Gosh, sorry I've got a couple of threads going here. The resistance is felt after about an inch of pull back on the charging handle. This after the hammer is already cocked. It feels like something is catching and resistence is increased. This does not effect the operation of the gun but you would think a smooth consistent resistance on the spring would allow for better operation. Maybe this will go away after time? This is all I know. I took it apart and put grease in the tube but it did not help. Maybe the buffer weight is hanging up on the detent pin? Thanks for all the help. |

I took solvent and washed everything out including soaking the bolt. Now the bolt slides more freely. I'm not shure why the resistance is still felt after about an inch pull back on the CH but something hangs it up. I presume that is normal but for the life of me I don't know what it's catching on that resistance is increased. Not that it matters. |

Just went threw the AR side in the safe, About an inch back on the charging handle, the key is starting to clear the gas tube, and the lugs of the bolt and extension are just clearing each other. The only other area with the exception of the charging handle it's self could be the cam clearing the relief cut in the upper receiver. With the hammer cocked, you shouldn't feel the hammer engage until a little less than half way back. |
