So I'm doing my first build on a non-NDS receiver. Picked up an ITM receiver back in Jan for a song and am building a Romy fixed stock on it.
After I got it all together, checked and headspaced and all that, and internals all put in, I went to fit the top cover. Too short by about 1/8". One thing that stood out, was the receiver seemed like it was too wide. I had hell just getting the top cover on to see if it fit in the first place. Even had to use some of that vice grip bending action to get it opened far enough to push down onto the receiver.
So my goofy querstion is, what are my options? I've dealt with top covers that are too large, that's too simple by half. But this is an issue I've yet to deal with. Can I use a smooth top cover? Maybe Bulgarian or Chinese?
