Slow down cupcake, my post was general advice and not a diagnosis. But yeah, pulling the BCG apart and giving it a quick wipe down, visual inspection and lube isn't the worst thing you could do for a "new" upper before putting it into service. At the very least it's another variable eliminated.

Got the upper back from KAC today. They shipped it back to me on the 11th business day which is pretty damn good considering that I assume they’re working on contracts right now since uppers are OOS everywhere. Similar to my BCM last week, there was no indication of what was done to it. I know it’s the same rail because I can see where my grip and light were mounted, but that and the barrel at least got a healthy amount of oil. I didn’t look at the receiver much though, I was far too distracted by the shiny new sandcutter carrier that was inside... I was pretty surprised to have an issue from the factory, but it’s a good reminder that it’s always possible. Seeing as how I’ve had to send a few expensive things back in the last year or two, I’m very happy with how they handled it.
Ultimately I think I’m going to replace it with a 14.5, just because this is my only 16” gun and while I had reasons for trying it, that extra inch doesn’t feel worth it when paired with the Razor and M600DF.
