![]() And decides after a few days without response to his emails to call instead. Hypothetical customer understands 5D is very busy selling more Router Jig Pro kits and other products right now but is also ready to get the lower work done. Not in days of waiting, and even still to this date. The hypothetical person, noticing 5D Tactical seems to greatly prefer email-based support rather than telephone based support, since support is only open 2 hours a day, sends multiple emails to 5D Tactical support email address posted conspicuously in multiple places on the website, describing the problem and requesting advice or replacement of the takedown pin in the kit, but receives no response. Hypothetical person does not feel comfortable trying to use a rubber mallet or other impact-driven means to force the takedown pin from the 5D tactical kit into/through the front pivot pin holes in his lowers for fear that it will damage the receiver or enlarge the holes, which cannot be undone, and skeptical that they should need to, either. Although the actual front pivot pins from all of the hypothetical person's KAK LPK's will go in and through the holes of both ears of their lowers just fine (so hypothetical person knows the problem is the diameter of the pin supplied with the jig kit, not undersized holes in the receiver). Even after applying oil to the pin and the holes, it is obvious the pin is just a little too big to go in without force. It almost gets to the end of the "entry taper", but not quite, and doesn't even make it to the point where the spring loaded detent ball in the pin supplied with the kit meets the front pivot pin hole in the right side of the receiver before it stops. I love it now.Once upon a time not many moons ago, a hypothetical person bought a 5D Tactical Router Jig Pro Multiplatform AR15/AR10 kit, and discovered that the takedown pin supplied with the kit is just a little too big to go into the front pivot pin holes of his American Made Tactical 80% lowers. When I got out of the Army I didn't have any interest in an AR for many years, but gradually found my way to the platform. I later qualified with the M-14 which I liked a lot better. ![]() I managed to qualify Expert with that worn out gun, but barely, and didn't care for the thing. I found that my best bet was to sort of twist the grip to the right with my right hand on the pistol grip, basically cock the lower and upper against the two pins, with my face pressed against the butt and the tip of my nose touching the charging handle. I had shot and hunted a lot, but was used to nice wood and blued steel, and guns that didn't rattle and flop around and go boing every time I pulled the heavy trigger. I think it slopped about 1/4" side-to-side, and had about 2 inches of freebore aka totally shot-out barrel. I was issued an M16 which remained mine through that 10 weeks. My first AR experience was when I went through Army basic training in the summer of 1971. But I'm kinda at the point now where I just build up a KAC lower and purchase a KAC upper and call it a day. Like receivers that fit from the factory.Īnother thing you can do is go to the dealer, if that's possible, and try out a bunch until you find some that fit. Some things are just solutions to problems that never really existed or have better solutions already. fixed A2 (SOPMOD stocks would likely be an exception). ![]() ![]() non-FF tubes and collapsible M4 stocks vs. Never really observed a measurable difference between M4's with 'em and M4's without 'em, but I DID measure noticeable differences between similar rifles with FF vs. Some hate 'em, some love 'em, I still have some but don't use 'em. We used to hand out accuwedges in SDM school for the students. But wanna see some funny shit, take a Mega upper or an Aero upper and try and fit that to a KAC lower -talk about some fucking slop! Somebody ain't consistently milspec here and I'm not betting against KAC. Most all of the high end mfg.'s have this problem unfucked. Noveske (including VLTOR) KAC and LMT all make decent stuff that fits together without slop.
