First time you do this with a new gun, the bolt needs a plastic pen or something to assist in getting the takedown bolt to pop out. Make sure safety flags are removed and it should fold in half for bolt and charger removal which are easy. Put a bit of CLR on the bolt to keep it ready to pop again a bit easier.
How could you not fit a red dot on a picatinny rail? And maybe you havnt noticed but most businesses are short handed at the moment. Tippman has notoriously had good customer service and excellent products for decades.
I would not recommend purchasing this firearm due to the poor customer service experience. I recently purchased this firearm and the red dot would not fit. I sent the rifle back to Tippmann in order for them to either replace the upper receiver or “mill” the upper receiver so my red dot mount would fit. Tippmann has now had possession of my firearm for close to one month and now learn I will need to wait until other jobs for new guns are completed first. I was told when I first made the call to Tippmann that it would only take 2 weeks turnaround for the repairs. Every time I contact the representative at Tippmann, he promises to call me back, but never does. I wish Tippmann would just return my money.
I assume the front take-down pin doesn't come out to remove the upper receiver as my micro elite won't move. Or does this thing need a punch to get the front take-down pin to budge?
Is there any maintenance on the recoil spring/buffer tube. Is that area even functional ? What about the trigger assembly. Very incomplete cleaning video. The reason I ask is because I am purchasing the micro elite but waiting to see how this pistol brace thing works out.
$500 for an ar 15 platform even if it’s on .22 cal isn’t a bad deal. Your average hand guns start around that price. It’s an EXCELLENT training platform that you can transfer your skills into a higher caliber ar-15
The furniture (grip, stock, and forend), trigger, and safety are compatible. The charging handle and bolt catch are not. Not sure if the mag release is standard, as the magazines are proprietary.
