    Because it is supposed to be in the extended position and will not seat otherwise.
    You can't even get the bcg in the receiver with the bolt collapsed. I don't think that is his problem.

    Haha. Yeah I guess that's right. Been a long time since I tried. I just remember it didn't work.

    Well, I'm far form an expert so I suppose that is possible, however I would contend that if the extension was the issue why did the other bolt fit and work just fine? Comparing the two bolts I think the cam pin hole was bored out of time.

    I'm REALLY bumming that the manufacturer didn't get back to me today.

    Now I get to sit with this 11.5" upper all weekend and stare at it, instead of going out to shoot it and getting it sighted in. Talk about salt in a wound.

    S!!! Happens even with top notch companies. I got a new bolt as a spare, 158 steel HP/MPI looked perfect but extractor pin hole drilled a few thousands to low firing pin won't move freely.. I just checked it for function without live ammo it's a no go.
    I'm betting that they will make it right if of the known companies. Now if it's from "shady Jake's AR company" Your probably SOL.

    Send another email or call the company. Some days we have over 100 emails and just can't get to all of them.
    It is easy for the bolt to spin while in the collet and cam pin hole end up off.

    well I'm trying not to be the guy who freaks out and set sup base camp n their lower intestine over one mistake. For all I know Friday could have been amazingly busy. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. I've had two other uppers form this company and they were fantastic. I specifically bought from them because I wanted to no drama for my NFA upper but lo and behold I found it.

    I figure my line in the sand will be Friday - If they haven't gotten back to me and offered a solution by a weeks time then there really is no excuse for that, in which case I'll have no further course but to oust them and take my money elsewhere. I hope that it never comes to that - I desperately want to believe it won't and that Friday was just busy and they'll get back to me Monday.

    Just call them. They should send you a new bolt asap. This isn't a big deal or complex case. It's not a girl and you're not in highschool. Calling the same day isn't taboo.

    This company does not answer their phone. I tried - Several times. As I understand it, they never answer their phone. I have to wait for an email response.
