The fancy longer button still wont make up for the wrong catch pad that doesnt retain the magazine . Whats is your fix for that?
Ive bought too kits from you and neither has the correct parts. They are just ar15 parts
It’s concerning that you think you purchased parts from us as we don’t sell anything, never did, never will. I’m not sure why you’re experiencing issues beyond the extended mag button. Personally I buy my parts directly from Aero Precision or Brownells if Aero is out of stock. Check your receipt and see where you bought your LPK’s and contact Aero if there’s a fit issue with your M5. They are great to deal. Good luck.
I’m working on a 308 / 6.5 Creedmoor build. I machined up a 80% arms lower and It too needs this extended catch release button.
