    Since he screwed it in so far and then notched it to go around the buffer retaining pin, the tube will extend past the lower receiver.

    So that requires it to be ground in order for the upper to close.

    I guess the simple instructions that come with RE/stock kits was too much for his limited reading ability.

    Maybe I'm not following you; why did you remove the retaining pin?

    I've been too close for comfort with something like this. A couple years ago, Bubba and his son come in to get help sighting in their deer rifle (Remington 7400 MALF-omatic) I'm like, "Ok let me be the nice guy and help them out." I touched off the '06. The scope hit the deck. Afraid that this guy was going to be pissed that I just dropped his scope, I was like, "Man, I'm sorry, what happened." He replied, "Oh, don't worry about that, I lost the screws for the base, so I just superglued it on."

    I just seriously can't imagine what some people are thinking. Oh, and since no one's mentioned it yet, gotta love the, "so I drank another beer and got out the angle grinder." from MARKM's post.

    The step by step instructions on the Brownell's site could have saved him quite a bit of time and probably shown him how to properly install a few other things.

    Not to mention the giant picture tutorial on assembling the lower receiver that is stickied on the same damned site he posted that thread on.

    LOL! Isn't there a Murphy's Law or something "when all else fails read the directions?"
