    I still have no idea what caused the problems. My replacement bolt should be here anytime today and im sure they wont disclose what caused the FUBAR.

    I wasnt trying to push anyone not to buy one but just to be overly careful with a new one as mine did some dangerous and funky stuff.

    Shihan,
    thanks for sharing your experience. i have a .22LR spike's upper and the conversion .22LR barrel for my LMT MRP. both run like champs after a bit of tuning the spring, and i've never had a slam fire like that.
    however, your experience is a great reminder to always point your weapon in a safe direction, because who knows when your firing pin might have a burr or get stuck from dirt, and the next time you load a .22LR round into the chamber it goes off.

    I just got my Upper today. Nice setup, just kind of worried that the bolt doesent slam home all the way when chambering a round and the slide stop does not work.

    I just lubed the bolt with some gunners oil. It seems to work a little better. The bolt still will not lock in the back position with the bolt release lever. It might be my RRA lower not quite working with the new upper. I'm going to shoot it this weekend and see what happens.

    Mine runs great with Federal bulk pack but nothing else. I can live with that. Its also been safe.
