    AR BCG

    How tight should the bolt face feel to move back and forth?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    when brand new its normal for it to be pretty tight. After a few hundred rounds it should move forward in the carrier if you give it a hard shake. make sure the gaps in the rings aren't aligned when you put it back together. I try to space them in even thirds but you don't need to be that anal, just make sure they arent aligned.

    It is fine. when are you going to get that lower put together.

    I still have to order one but it will not be to long. Gaps in the rings gotcha like rings on a piston.
    Learned how to take the BCG apart last night but didn't know that Thanks.

    The requirement for staggering the gas rings is actually common misconception. You can stagger them to perfection, but the rings will spin any way and get all out of wack the minute you reinstall the bolt carrier assembly. They will get even more out of wack when you cycle the bolt before the first shot is even fired. You actually don't have to worry about it. The gap is so tiny that it does not affect performance.
    The pen is mightier than the sword, but only when you're shoving it through your enemy's throat.

    I wasn't skorpion seems stupid in my mind and B no I am not going to OVER think this. Millions have already
    and it has changed nothing. Like I have said I was bored and it is/was an impulse buy. And now I am starting
    to really understand the beauty of the AK.

    This. I have purposely aligned the gaps and no issues with cycling.

    I know it would be stupid to even think. To me.
