lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Try a search for lots of info. Or just look through the last few pages. This is a common topic. You are fine, it's a pretty easy fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I know that it will seem impossible, but you need to push in the recoil assembly and remove the cover. You can then pry the BHO to the right and make it go back into the hole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pull back the bolt carrier, slip a small screwdriver under the bolt carrier, and push the BHO back down and out of the way. When you field strip the gun make sure the BHO retaining spring is in the correct position on top of the BHO "leg". Good luck! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KC913 324 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 And after you get it fixed, pull the BHO out and throw it in the trash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesLi 47 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 And after you get it fixed, pull the BHO out and throw it in the trash. Ha, it's not this bad. You can always do a number of modifications to it and it'll stay in place. I personally like mine that won't slide back up inside even if you try to force it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boomstick12 11 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 And after you get it fixed, pull the BHO out and throw it in the trash. Eh, I followed the instructions on one of the youtube conversion videos, did the notching they recommended, and I have had zero problems. Even though I can put my mags and drums in without the BHO open, I'd rather still have it than not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 has you tried to correct the BHO position by going through the magwell with some dental picks to reposition the bho to make it easier to move the carrier? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THEMRMITCH 3 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Same thing happened to me. Taught meself a few new cuss words.....but got 'er done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McabanissII 2 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Thanks all. I finally got it open, theres no tension on the BHO, so the spring will need some work. For some reason the bolt want go back into the chamber. I have it in the right position to insert, however it want go. I cycled the bolt several times before i took it out along with the gas rod spring so i dont know what could be in the way.. I took it to the dealer i bought it from and there gonna get it to the smith who converts them. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
