    So, no worries. I'm a fairly smart guy and know enough to keep the bolt assembly paired with the barrel extension. In the end, all I did was swap the sheetmetal with the ejection port cover and forward assist (didn't take them off the uppers, for obvious reasons). All the internals remain the same on both guns.
    A lot of new people look to these threads as a place for help/trouble shooting. That statement was more for them than you.

    Well, I suspected that, but wish you'd actually said so, because they didn't read that way. Anyhow, that's the reason I've written, then decided not to post some of the sarcastic replies I've been tempted to put here.

    In the first part of the post I said cool and cheers. Why would I then go on to insult you. And like you said I also do not know you from adam so telling us you are an airplane mechanic does not tell me what your knowledge base is. I know doctors that can remove your heart but can't change a car battery. It was just a friendly reminder for some nubees. I'm sure out there somewhere is somebody that didn't know about the bolt/extension mating. It doesn't always cause problems, but I have seen problems after somebody puts in a new bolt. Just to be clear: that statment was not meant for you So no hard feelings here.
