Well I took the gun out back and it functioned well, I had dropped a DPMS kit in it and I don't know if the castle nut being in backwards will matter, I really don't think it will

BUT here's the problem
it has a 10lb 14 oz trigger pull, and it goes together so TIGHT that I had to squeze it together (hand force only) and tap the take down pins in with a small hammer.

This would be great if I was building a match gun. This is the tightest fit I think I've ever seen. I don't think its so much stress as to cause trouble but my purpose for this gun was to break it down and build a backpack specific for its use, and keep it as an emergency kit. you know a backpack with 3 30's a rifle, dry socks, and a few essentials for fighting my way out of Town to try to get home in case of emergency but with this being SO tight I won't be able to break it down and assemble it without tools, quietly and break it back down

So this is kind of a mess. I don't trust the company to make it right and I sure don't want to mail it again. It made there and back once I can't imagine it doing it again.

If anyone needs a really tight Lower to make a match gun out of I have the lower for you.

The gun functioned fine, I don't have any fears that the AR will give me problems, It's just not going to work for my intended purpose.
