Without seeing it in person, I find that to be unsat. I would not be comfortable with that little purchase on the pin. If you try that RE in another lower, what do you get? If you try another RE in that lower, what do you get?

I would not feel comfortable with the retaining pin as is. I would do as GT said and file a little of the buffer tube until there is more contact with the pin. I have had to repair several rifles when the pin came loose. Thankfully it was in training. Believe me it's a pain in the ass to get them out.
Ok....I have a different Bcm Extension that i put in the lower.....it works alot better.....but i put the newer tube that was in it in a noveske lower and it worked fine also..........i have a friend who owns a machine shop and i am going to get him to turn a little off the new one......it doesnt need much as i can make another full turn but it butts up to the tit

I've had similar concerns. Glad to also see this topic as I have ran in to this with several different brands, actually.
This is after fililing it a little and going another turn....

Tropics that is much better. Wow. Im going to have to get a castle nut wrench so I can do the same.
Ash, WTF happened there?! Did the guy sawzaw the whole thing???
I was going to take it to a friends machine shop but i had a file handy and decided to try it and i was surprised how fast and easy the file shaved it down......on a side note i was scared that the upper part of the tube would protrude out past the lower and prevent the upper from closing.....but on mine it didnt.
