Holy short pins, Batman!! Anderson LPK...

Post by kokopelli » Sat Dec 27, 2014 5:19 pm

Houston, we have a problem!

So I'm putting my Anderson lower together, using an Anderson LPK, and I got short-sheeted! Or short pinned, rather.
No, I'm not missing a pin- the front take-down pin is too short!

I had a second Anderson LPK, and got the pin from it, and it's fine:

Call em. They should sent you another if they are worth a crap. Manufacturing defect that should have been caught IMO

Is this a common thing with anderson? Recently picked up a gun built with there upper,lower, and lpk and the front pivot pin head is kind of canted.

Not sure how pins that short got thru any form of QC.

Actually I think your lower is defective.
Grind the ear until pin is flush and then no problem.

And A Dayton told me to tell you KOAxcop that when you come and get a new pin , he is going to run out of the shop and yell at the top of his lungs that you are a "poopy head".

Hey man ... I'm a little 'slow' this week ... didn't see this until now ...
We'll take care of it when we get together on your barrel (and BCG) ... BTW, that is nothing short of fiasco and I apologize ...
And you are not a 'poopy head' .... lol
