I thinking about taking the dremell to that little nub tomorrow!

Thank you for the links. My New Frontier Armory lower took every AR part I had for it, no problems. What other parts are you putting on the complete rifle?

Glad the links helped. I don't have an AR pistol and to save the wait and $200 I'm going to make this a pistol.
My New Frontier BCG showed up yesterday. It is a DSG LPK minus the FCG. I now need a new FCG. The one I have isn't working. I will probably order a KAK Shockwave now that I need to order a new FCG. I was planning on a Noveske end plate for my QD sling. The barell length is what's getting me. I would like a 1/2x28 thread so I can spin on a suppressor when I get one. So it thinking 4-6". 4" would work better I believe to keep standard rounds subsonic.
I got the FCG question squared away here.

Fixed it. My buddy took his dremel to it. I need to tighten the castle nut and stake it. Then to shoot it today after work.

I shot 50 rounds through the rifle today. I used an OEM G18 33 round magazine and a PMag 17 round magazine. I am using a Colt A1 upper and 16” Colt bbl. The BCG is from New Frontier. I have a Voltor A5 RE on the rifle with the standard buffer.
I had three or four failures with the PMag. Then the Glock 18 mag started acting the same way. If I held the bolt release closed it ran fine. I'm sure the issue is with the bolt hold open/release bar. It is very loose in the gun. It is installed with roll pins I don't see a way to tighten it is by bending it. I could obviously just remove it too. I removed the partially full magazine and shot the round in the chamber and the bolt stayed open too.
These two photos show the BHO all the way to the right and left. It moves freely from right to left.

I spoke to Rich with AA by email. The BHO is supposed to be loose. It is held in place when the upper is assembled. The issue may be the spring on the bolt release. I used the shorter spring they supplied. It could still be too long. Not sure. Waiting to call Rich later today. I'm very impressed with the quick responses I have had directly from the owner of AA. He gave me his direct number and told me he would work with me to get he gun running right. That is outstanding Customer Service. I'm impressed.

What kind of failures? Premature lock-back?Originally Posted by usmcvet

Exactly. Rich from AA suggested I get a standard RE on the gun and take off the A5. I ordered one today. I have a Wolf extra power carbine spring and a Spikes ST-9 buffer I will use. I might put 6/7 quarters into it until I get the new RE next week.

I shot another fifty rounds. Well I got about ten off and my 13 year old shot the other forty! I switched to the ST9 buffer and added six quarters below the spring in the RE. There were no more BHO failures. I had one failure to feed.

My 13 year old shooting buddy. His 10 year old sister was picking up brass. She did not want to shoot today.
One failure to feed.
My youngest, 8 year old, shooting buddy. She is struggling to see the RDS.
