AR-15 ejection port cover fit
« on: March 02, 2013, 09:42:51 AM »
I have a number of stripped LRB AR15 upper receivers.   All the ejection port covers (2 sources - RRA & Brownells) I have tried will not close without manually depressing the detent.  The receivers seem to have a notch that is actually too deep to depress the detent when closing.  The detent retaining pin is installed in a 'blind' hole - that has stymied my thoughts for an easy fix.  Has anybody had this issue and come up with a solution?  An email to LRB about this issue has gone unanswered.   ::)

Add Palmetto Armory.  Tried one of theirs - same problem.

Another email to LRB was answered.  Said to ship the uppers to them for inspection / replacement. Will advise.
