I have a new stripped lower by MAG Tactical Systems - it is the magnesium alloy one weighing a scant 6 ounces !
I have discovered the recoil spring tube will not thread in past about 1/2 of the distance it needs to travel to be all the way home.
The thread tap 1 & 3/16 by 16 is what I am told one would use to chase the threads. This same tube will thread right into 3 other lowers so I am relative certain the threads were not cut far enough through. One can see the threads are all the way through but the tube binds up tight before all the way through.
Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated.
