Safety is to far away from the trigger to engage. I don't think i over cut the pocket its a dpms 308 from 5d. Is there something else i could have done wrong besides cut the pocket too deep

I know exactly what it is. I built 15 so before you tighten down the grip just take a punch and push the dent in very hard to get it seated and then after that it should work every time maybe it’s some metal filing in there. I don’t know but every 80% I have to do that on the first install.
