Quoted: Hey everyone, Ameetec Lower+M1S kit= pivot pin/spring bottoming out before going flush with the receiver. WTF?!? spring measures 1" uncompressed, pin is 5/8". is there crud in the shaft? how to clean? is the spring too long?
Needless to say I am VERY distraught right now!! any info would be great!!

First, RELAX.... Breathe!
This happens from time to time and more often than not, it's simply a little "flash" or as you put it, CRAP down in the hole. EASILY resolves.
I do NOT remember the size drill bit I have used to solve this problem, but, find a bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the hole, insert bit by hand ONLY, when you meet resistance, turn the bit clockwise, as you feel the resistance giv way, a few more turns and remove the bit, blow off the metal crap that attached to it, then re-insert the bit and repeat a few times until desired clearance is achieved. EASY, no sweat, no worries, VOILA! And then you are in business!
