I,m having trouble determining the depth to machine the magazine release button. I'm following Ray-Vin's website instructions but can't quite understand what he means in explaining how deep to seat the button. Also looked at the on-line machine drawings but can't see any dimension on depth. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Neal |

I put them in to where the bolt part of the catch just passes the top of the button release. I've heard others call installing the screw/bolt "proud" of the button if you get my drift.
Just take a pencil eraser, jam it on the mag release, and at the same time pull the mag catch from the other side and give it a whirl. Never had a problem with magazines, feeding etc. Unless my magazine lips were screwed up. |

from the ar15 blueprint hosted here on arfcom: lowerBlueprint.pdf
from the main view in the center & view CC located in the lower left corner: The oval button slot to a depth of 0.326 plus or minus 0.010 The 0.312 diameter hole to a depth of 0.576 plus or minus 0.010 The 0.204 hole all the way through Ray-Vin's directions are based on measuring your forging and doing the calculations using actual values, but can be a little confusing. |
