Is there a specified amount of standoff noted in the drawings?
You won't outvote the corruption.

Try this method if you dont like the other.

So, my method is not super technical and I don't know the answer. What I do is hold the upper & lower with the rear take down pin out, as I close the upper, I have a flashlight in my other hand shining back on the buffer. As the lower closes, I can see the buffer being pushed back and light becomes visible between the detent and buffer face. Kinda hard to explain and requires some weird angles to view the area as you close it up, but it works for me. I have a few builds where the BCG wouldn't budge the buffer, so I installed the offset detent for piece of mind.

fwiw : unless there is a problem with functioning this is overthinking a problem that doesn’t exist. my understanding is that the buffer retaining pin only serves to keep the buffer and spring contained in the buffer tube when the upper receiver is pivoted away from the lower receiver. when the upper is closed on the lower the bcg pushes the buffer back slightly and removes pressure on the retaining pin. as a side note the rifle will function properly with the retainer and its spring removed entirely. it just requires care to take it apart and put back together for proper function.
