Got my shipping confirmation - should be a fun weekend of seeing how it all fits together (gulp, I hope).
Did yours come all slicked up for a Turkish oil wrestling tournament too?
Is this o ring supposed to be smashed up like this?
I don’t have that o-ring. Not sure if it’s missing or what. I don’t even see a nub to put it on
Ugh still no shipping notice for mine. It says "In process 1/12/2022" in my account but still blank for the carrier and "not available" for the tracking number. No idea what the delay is.
That looks different than the one I have.
The flared head on the firing pin retainer may have sheared off. It’s suppose to have that o-ring. Unless, it’s been modified by the manufacturer.
This might be a dumb questions, but did you have your FFL email them a picture of their signed FFL license? I forgot to do that for a couple days but they shipped the second it was done.
Sure did, he sent it right away and then I got the email on 1/12 saying the FFL info was processed for shipping/sent to the warehouse.
I think you have a sheared off firing pin retainer.
That part should look like this. And a roll pin would be better if they wanted to cut corners. But you’ll need a punch to disassemble the bolt group.
Mine is exactly like that but I had no trouble blasting steel at 25 yards with it. I’ve considered straightening it out for OCD reasons but haven’t yet.Front sight post is a little crooked but i think it can be straightened out by adjusting the nut on the bottom
MGW has a replacement:I think you have a sheared off firing pin retainer.

You are probably right. Might want to disassemble the whole thing and look for a random retaining pin head hiding out in your FCG or something. What has me scratching my head on your example is that your headless pin appears to have been painted/coated/whatever. That would imply whoever put it together was cool with it the way it was. Maybe you got a Monday or a Friday production example.The SDS manual shows the pin with a head. I’d contact SDS but prolly less hassle to get one from MGW
