I recommend that you just push it in. We are showing the person who assembled it the photo so they will be aware that it happened.

This bolt was assembled at AAC in GA, not DPMS. It was also not machined by DPMS. The "D" has no relation to DPMS whatsoever. It is a letter code for the machine shop that made it, and we QC the bolt components that we get from them to our own drawing. Someone at AAC simply made a mistake, and didn't push the pin in far enough. It is a high quality bolt and a good choice to continue using it.
Thank you sir for responding. One of the reasons I really like M4C is I knew I'd get someone from AAC's attention. This has been very enlightning. Sorry for the poor pic. I feel it important to provide product feedback so you can help improve your product(s). I'm not angry or anything, shit happens. I wanted to point out my experience and wanted some guidance before I tried to fix it myself.
I also posted to make sure this actually WAS the original bolt; the seal on the box was broken when I got it. This comes from a reputable dealer which I will not name, but in the outside chance someone removed the bolt and put another one in it's place...well, it was worth asking.
P.S. I'm still your satisfied customer; I've got an SDN-6 on order, and if I could ever get it out of NFA jail, a M42K is sitting in my dealer's safe right now....If you'd like the serial # or some better pics so you can track down the issue for training/feedback, PM me and I'll be glad to provide it.
Question, do I need to hold the ejector down when I move/fix the pin, or not?
