I’ve been googling this all morning, is there ANY info on how to reassemble the bolt on this thing, I was taking it off to put my 5.56 upper back on and the bolt fell out and flew apart, my kit did not come with instructions.
Can anyone help me??
Oh, and are the kits supposed to come with a mag? I had to buy a couple at the shop when I got it.
Bring it by the shop and I’ll show you how, it’s easy once you do it a few times. The kit should have come with a mag. If you got if from us and it didn’t I’ll give you one. Also it’s very essential when talking the upper off the lower with these that the muzzle be down to avoid dropping the .22 bolt. I’ve dropped mine more than a few times and lost the E/C clip holding it together.
Yup Robb, I bought it on Tuesday, I thought it didnt come with a mag so I bought 2 of the Sig 522 mags you guys have.
I’ll bring it in tommorow if I can’t figure it out tonight, about the mag, do I need to just come in and see you?
And, where does the e/c clip even go? I have no clue because I never even looked at the bolt before it hit the floor, I was afraid to take it out be it I had no instructions on how to put it back together.
I think I can get it back together, I just need to know where that clip goes, someone posted pics on AR15.com for me so I have an idea how its supposed to go together but the pics don’t show the clip.
Thanks Robb !
here is a pic I found. The clip goes on the far left between the notch on the rear most piece that the bolt slides on.
My bolt does not look like yours, it has a black sleeve thing that goes on the spring and rod and is does not have the black buffer looking thing yours has.
I was able to get the bolt back together finaly, but not without help 
Robb, can I still come down and pick up the mag?
I’m off today (all Saturdays). If you can make it during the week please do (I work Mon-Fri 10am-7pm). We sell small parts kits for the TacSol uppers too. I needed them a few times because I dropped my bolt a few times also and lost the E/C clip.
Thats good to know that you guys stock parts kits for the upper, do you have an extra power recoil spring for the tacsol upper?
I will come down this week, I will try to get there before your lunch break so I do not interrupt you again while your eating, thanks again for putting my 17 back together 
, I fired off 200 rounds through it without a problem since you put it back together CORRECTLY for me.
Thanks alot Robb
I picked that mag up while you were at lunch Robb, thanks alot.
I had a chance to take the Tacsol kit out and play with it, it ran 100% , just need to get the irons zeroed.
Please post you accuracy results.
Mine looks different than the one pictured also. It too, has a black buffer tube and no rubber donut behind the buffer. (I think they discontinued using them.) Mine also has a metal washer at the other end of the recoil spring. Which upper do you have? I have an M4 and an LT. I had some issues at first but that was because I was using non-milspec hammers and triggers. I got that ironed out and they’re both great - accurate, reliable and fun to shoot.
I have the M4, I built the lower with Milspec parts so the lower was already compatible with the Tacsol upper.
I will post accuracy reports on it, I put a cheap Centerpoint scope on it but am having issues zeroing the scope, its too far off to the right, I have to hold off to the left to get it to POA.
I got frustrated and put my Eotech back on it, I need to zero that anyway and also need to zero the iron sights on the Tacsol.
Its hard when you are using soda cans and soda bottles to zero your scope and sights, I am shooting up in the mountains on a neighbors property and we don’t have paper targets up or any kind of distance mapped out.
I think I am going to have to take it to a range just to get everything set up right before I continue killing cans and bottles.
Sounds like it’s working good for you. I just have an indoor range to shoot on. It’s limited to 25 yards and the lighting is not too good and there isn’t really a bench to shoot from - just a narrow shelf. In spite of that, I’ve been able to get some 5 shot groups with all holes touching with a cheap CenterPoint 4x16x40 scope. I envy you for having a place to shoot outdoors - they won’t let me kill beer cans at the range! I really need a place to shoot outdoors. Have fun with it and post some accuracy info when you get a chance. Mine both like Federal Bulk and Win 333s from Wally World. Those aren’t the best for accuracy, but they really aren’t bad at all and they function reliably.
Rman, I have that same scope on my Tacsol, have you had any issues with the scope?
I am taking it to the range today to see if I can get it on paper and zeroed in.
I did get the irons zeroed, the Tacsol is now an official bottle killer, I was plugging an Arizona Iced Tea can at what we estimated as 50 yards, the can was hanging from a tree branch and I had it dancing from the branch consistantly.
I hope my scope is good, I really want to get a little more precise with the Tacsol, there is plenty more room out in the woods where we are shooting, I can take the cans and bottles out much further.
I have been using Winchester 333 and Federal 550 bulk pack, the 333’s ran 100%, the Feds had a few duds, and a couple of jams, but it was like 3 or 4 issues out of 550 rounds, that was more than acceptable to me.
I had my buddies kids out there with us during the last trip, they love that thing, specially since the stock adjust to fit them on my lower.
I had to ask just to shoot my own rifle, the kids were even loading mags while I was shooting, this upper is turning out to be one of my better gun buys of late.
Unit 6639,
I’ve had really good luck with that scope so far. In fact, I have 2 of them. It’s no Leupold, but for the money I think it’s hard to beat. Unless you have a scope that is made strictly for .22s, it’s important that you have an adjustable objective. 22 scopes are parallax corrected at 50 yards instead of at longer range like centerfire scopes. I find that I can get mine focused perfectly at the shorter ranges that I have to shoot in the indoor range.
Both my TacSols shoot Win 333 and Federal bulk pretty well. Mine are actually most reliable with the Wally World Federal stuff, but both work well for me.
I know what you mean about asking to shoot your own rifle at the range! My grandson liked my M4 so much, I had a hard time getting a chance to shoot it. That’s why I bought the LT - it’s a pound lighter and gives the boy his own AR to shoot.
Good luck at the range - hope you like the scope.

Thank you for replying Rman, had all kinds of difficulties at the range yesterday, I was using Winchester 555 with the Tacsol, apparently, my upper does not like this ammo.
I was getting double feeds every other round almost, I was able to get the scope on paper, but the jams were wasting up my range time so I had to put the AR away so I could shoot my pistols and such.
Some of the rounds were feeding on top of the other round, jamming into the chamber instead of going into the chamber, I am hoping its the ammo, I was also shooting my CZ 75 with my Kadet upper, the 555 ran fine in that, I did have a couple of dud rounds but that was not the guns fault.
Funny thing, the 555 seems to not work, but the Federal I ran through it was fine compared to the 555, it also ran great off of Winchester 333.
Well, at least the 555 will get used in my CZ, I am ready to just put the scope away for a bit and just use my eotech xps on the Tacsol upper.
You’re welcome Unit 6639. It’s strange you’re having problems with Win 555. It is supposed to be exactly the same as 333, just packaged differently. Both my TS uppers run best with Federal Bulk, and are pretty accurate with the junky stuff too. I have an occasional problem with Win 333, but overall it runs pretty darn good in mine. My Wally World doesn’t stock 555s.
I sold my TacSol but mine didn’t like Win 333 either, it also didn’t like Rem Cyclone and Thunderbolt. Ran great with Rem GoldenBullet, Rem Subsonic, and CCI Minimags just fine.
Winchester 333’s may have issues with uniformity, or maybe they’re uniformly large…my Spike’s upper had a out of battery kaboom with them.
Federal bulk pack stuff and CCI .22lr loads don’t seem to have the same issues.
Yea, the 333 ran fine and I thought the 555’s were the same so I figure, maybe its dirty or something, I cleaned it up since then, need to get it out again and see how it works after the cleaning.
Is there any reason you got rid of it?
