Gouging problem when locking the bolt back

There is nothing wrong with your parts. You screwed them up by trying to test your incomplete rifle. Buy a new charging handle, buffer, and buffer retainer.

And don’t try to test the trigger without catching the hammer. Your username makes me LOL.

This makes me think this is all one big joke. Har har har.

This thread is silly and is closed. OP-when you have a complete assembled AR then let us know.
