I have a receiver that I started putting together the other evening, and there are two issues that I wanted to bring to RRA's attention:
1. Inserting the selector detent into the detent hole, there seems to be a burr near the top of the channel, as it won't seat all of the way, and the selector doesn't "SNAP" into place, going to/from "SAFE" to "FIRE." "Mushes" into place seems to be the right way to put it - like the detent isn't holding the selector in place, just friction keeping it at it's particular setting. (Does that make sense?) (Several detents tried - all the same results.)(Possible safety issue.) 2. Installation of the front pivot pin. When you go to install the front pivot pin, it appears that when the right "shelf" (for lack of a better term) was milled to give the edge of the pivot pin clearance when seated - it seems that the milling process started, then the jig or receiver moved. The angle is a few degrees off, and you cannot fully 'seat' the front pivot pin, as it's top edge hits the receiver. (Like the cut is angled forward a degree or so, when it should be a 90º.) Again, not a parts issue - at the bottom of the angle, you can see where the correct cut was started, then angles off. (Possible safety issue.) My gunsmith said that he's never seen an issue like this w/ an RRA receiver, and can't believe that the receiver made it off the factory floor w/ these issues. See pic for area in question:
