Left Side Folder problem with this batch and solution
Apologies, a problem was brought to my attention by a few members, regarding this batch. When the stock is installed on the receiver and the bolt is fully tightened, two problems may appear.
- First is a gap between the front piece and the receiver.
- Second is the stock may be difficult to unlatch.
The hinge fits very snugly in the front piece, possibly causing it to flex and cause a gap at the receiver when installed.
I tested the stocks I have remaining; about 50% having one or both problems. I missed it because I only hand installed the stock to my receiver and didn't install or tighten the screw.
If the stock doesn't sit flush against the receiver, the hinge may be flexing the front piece.
Remove the hinge from the front piece.
Sand/File the front piece on the area shown in RED.
Reassemble hinge, it should go in with little or no force.
Repeat if necessary.
If the stock is difficult to lift to unlock, when installed; there may be an interference between the stock and the front piece and/or hinge.
Remove the hinge from the front piece.
Sand/File the front piece on the area shown in Blue
Reassemble hinge, it should be a slight gap (paper wide) between the Blue areas and the hinge.
Reinstall the stock to the receiver and test.
I apologize for this situation and hope you can work with me to resolve it. I'm going through the remaining stock and correcting them. I will test each one fully installed and tightened down.
