BCM receiver extension canted

[davidjinks]

I think that screw is important. Could you use it without? Yes. However, there is play in the lower piece which is supposed to prevent canting of the extension. Hand tap the stripped part and get a replacement bolt and you should be good to go.

I use 33MS grease on all the screws.

I stripped the bottom screw the first time I used the jig. After cursing the Chinesium I noted that it seemed to work fine without it. Do you think that screw is important?

I see the price on that thing is about half the price when it first came out. Personally I think it's a piece of crap, just sloppy as hell. I picked up one a year ago for the hell of it, because I actually like their upper receiver block. And I already had a Giessele and the Botach, (I like tools). Too many little adjustments to get it just right, not that it's difficult, but it should just simply work easily.

Was there ever an exciting conclusion to this thread? Did the OP send it back, or did he just fix it himself?

BCM asked for it back, and with my left hand trembles I happily did so. it's at my FFL right now. Just waiting for a walther P99 I picked up at the same time to arrive and I'll pick both up together and see how it is.

I was waiting to update as soon as I got them back

Do you have some screwy state law that won't allow you to ship the lower to BCM directly, and get it back directly to your residence? Not that it really matters at this point, it probably would have gotten it back to you a tad quicker if anything similar ever pops up again.

BCM stated that due to the new carrier restrictions on firearms they are only allowed to ship to FFL's anymore. No more shipping directly to the consumer

they had me ship it from my place, but are now only shipping BACK to FFLs

Ok, that makes sense in some way. Not in any good way, but I get it.

yeah, wasn't exactly happy about that (not BCM's fault) as that will make shipping repairs back to a manufacturer that much more of a PITA going forward. I've heard the same policy is being levied across the board from a bunch of mfgers

How does that work since ownership never changed? I hope you don't have to pay any kind of transfer fee since ownership never transferred.

I'm curious to hear how that will work out for the OP as well. At the last shop I worked at, we had a gunsmith shop on site. We would have taken it in to the gunsmith shop and shipped it out for repair. That way when it came back he could have simply come in and picked it up. However, based on what he's saying, I'm willing to bet the receiving FFL will take it in on their books and will make him fill out a 4473 and pay a transfer fee to get it back.
