Thanks for the guide, installing the fcg was actually a lot easier than I imagined, especially with step by step pics

 

 

 

...unfortunately...

As always, something has to go wrong. The 1919 spring detent replacement RAAC sent me got stripped pretty easily. I used the same "eyeglasses" screwdriver with the old spring detent and had no stripping. Guess I have to wait another @#!$%&! week for a spring detent replacement. This time, I'm shopping around for the thinnest but wide screwdriver I can find...not stripping this again, I'm sick of waiting to break in the recoil spring and action with hunting loads cause of having to need replacement parts

I told you that was pretty easy, but man you are to rough on your screws, gotta screw soft and gentle bro lol

 

You'll get it soon enough

 

my suggestion on the screw drivers, go to radioshack get the set of philips and flat head in the small plastic case for electronics. I have those and a stupid $$$ matco bit driver set.

Just an FYI next time, that screw is just a set screw. Loosely screw it in till it just touches the safety lever. You'll feel it.

You might be able to salvage that one. I would put a drop on oil on the screw and start it with your fingers. Then get it as far as you can with pliers. Depending on how bad the head is, you might be able to get it flush with the lower with a bigger screwdriver if you bear down. The screw on mine goes in pretty easy - I can get it almost flush with my fingers. Another option is to drill the threads out on the lower with a slghtly bigger bit than the hole, then you could just drop the detent in. The upper would keep it in place. The only reason that hole is threaded is so you won't lose the screw when you separate the two halves for takedown. I know waiting for a critical part like that sucks! Esp. when you want to shoot it.

Nah, it's fine. I dont want to risk damaging anything else. I spoke to RAAC this morning and those guys are very understanding. Theyre sending me another screw and hopefully it'll be here by Friday.

 

But yes, you guys are right. They suggested spraying it with lube or oil to make the process smoother.

 

Oh and Hajk, I screwed it in as far as it possibly could go without any significant force and it still stuck out of the lower receiver a bit. I kept checking the safety to see if it "set it" but it seems I'll have to completely screw the detent spring in for it to catch the safety with its detent

 

It's fine, I bummed a tiny little glasses screwdriver from a friend and I'm gonna drown the detent spring in CLP or RemOil...whichever my hand reaches first.

 

Once this order is over, I can start breaking in my 1919 with hunting loads lol. Jeez, its been like a month-long ordeal
