Shipping Experience

A few reviewers noted that shipping was slower than expected for Brownells, particularly during high-demand times like Shot Show week. While this did not heavily impact overall satisfaction, it is a recurring mention in reviews.
Bolt stop lever issues
The bolt stop lever will not work with a LaRue lower receiver. The wide portion on the bottom of the lever will contact the receiver and will not allow the bolt stop to move. Everything else worked fine. I did not use the trigger or hammer pins as I used the ones that came with the LaRue trigger. On billet receivers use a drill bit as a pin and test the function of the bolt stop before installing the roll pin. You can cut the ears off the lower portion of the bolt stop with a Dremel tool and make it work. I used another bolt stop I had on hand.
