| Ok so I was installing my bolt catch and it went in fine. When I tried to use the bolt catch it felt like it was caught up on something. I reinstalled it and it still was stiff. It works great until the roll pin goes in half way. Then it starts getting caught on something. Any suggestions? |

Quoted:
Did you try dry fitting the roll pin in the bolt catch before installing it, maybe the channel in the bolt catch for the roll pin is a little undersized? Ya thats what I thought. So I should ream it? This is what it sounds like to me also....remove the pin and see if the catch will freely spin on the roll pin. |

Its a roll pin or spring pin....its is not a sold pin.
Quoted:
The pin shrinks when pressed into the lower. If you just try fitting in into the catch before the lower..they will not freely spin. So if you press a steel pin into an aluminum reciever, the steel pin shrinks? |
