Welp, that's irritating (update: I'm a moron)

I won an auction for an LWRC DI 5.56 upper that I didn't expect to win and didn't really want to. (Got a decent deal though.) I was hoping to throw it on to a Stag lower I had lying around, toss on the VCOG, and sell it to a coworker. Well, it arrived today and that plan fell through. Works fine on a LWRC M6IC lower. Every other upper I have works on the Stag lower. But the LWRC upper doesn't work on the Stag lower. Fits a bit like it has an accu-wedge installed and the bolt will retract (with difficulty) about 1/2 inch before it stops. Think I'll be keeping the upper and convert it to .300 Blackout or maybe a Valkyrie. I'm gonna shoot an email to LWRC and see if I can get barrel for it. I don't really need another 5.56.

Maybe that is why you got a good deal on it?

First you won it but then you got a good deal? Interesting

Oh my bad, I must have not even noticed the auction in your post, sorry. I see it now. I read it and thought man winning it sure is a good deal lol.

You must have the upper from the DI lower I bought.

Yeah, it turns out that LWRC IC DI uppers are not compatible with Magpul BAD levers. Noticed it was wedging the bolt release up. Removed the lever and it cycles fine now. Doh!

I love it when it turns out to be an easy fix

Not being compatible with the magpul bad should be considered a feature and not a bug tbh.
