Upper and lower wont pin together.

Hi, i’m new to ar’s and i just got my upper today. I’ve had the lower for a while and when i tried to put the back pin in, it wouldnt go all the way through. I think I need to file out some material in the upper pin hole. Is this correct? And after i do the filing, do i have to put something on the exposed metal? Thank you in advance.

Oh yes, here are some crappy phone pics :wink:



Here’s what my pin looks like now:

Do you have any friends with uppers you can try on your lower?

I found it guys :o i told you i was a noob. The TI lower has a nylon tipped screw that tightens up against the upper to stop any wobble. The screw was up about a quarter turn to far!

I would take the screw out. It doesn’t belong there in the first place, and can only cause problems.

I agree entirely.

Wow! What will they think of next?
