    Out of spec Young Manufacturing BCG?

    I recently purchased a brand new Young Manufacturing National Match Chromed M16 BCG. Upon receiving the BCG, I went to take it apart to inspect and lube it before I put it in my rifle. While disassembling it, I noticed rotating the cam pin was unusually difficult. Once I got the cam pin rotated and in the rearward position, I couldn't pull it out of the carrier.

    I ended up wrapping some electrical tape around a pair of needle nose pliers to get the cam pin out. It cleared the gas key fine; It was just a really tight fit in the bolt.

    I've had a lot of experience with AR's and I've never had a cam pin this difficult to remove. I'm just thinking maybe the BCG is out of spec. I'm going to call Y/M tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone had similar experiences. And yes, the firing pin was removed, don't even ask.

    Don't forget to check the OD of the cam pin.
