OK either I am a fuckinv idiot, or I got a defect. I did a simple A/R removal. but trying to put it back together I can't get the catch to engage. No matter how hard I prime it is like a millimeter shy of catching. I can pull it that extra bit to catch but it either doesn't hold or will but not catch again after firing... what am I doing wrong? anyone else have this issue?

I'm betting that there's a little too much give in the pump grip. try hot-gluing the metal rod into one side of the pump grip so it doesn't move around while you're trying to prime it.

Perhaps it's not "feeding" properly (get it, EAT?)

In all seriousness, perhaps the catch is facing the wrong way?

If this is the shape of a normal catch: |/
And this is the shape of a flip-flopped catch: \|
That would create that millimeter gap so it wouldn't engage at all, let alone work.

Maybe try spinning the pt around?

When removing the ar in mine I accidentally removed a thin ring from the back of the barrel. It isn't catching now and I'm pretty sure that's why.

Son of a bitch... I did the same thing....

Turns out while it is awesome to pop that off to remove the A/R you NEED to put that back.
