Stag left handed upper issue

[lsp408]

Hi, I recently built my first ar pistol using stag left handed upper, since I use after market barrel nut, the dust cover hinge rod will slide out toward barrel nut and through it cause the dust cover come loose by the shell deflector. What does everyone do to keep that rod from coming through barrel nut?

Thanks

I am gona have the same trouble, just looked at mine.

Mabey a plug in the barrel nut hole, I was thinking a piece of lead,

or a steel ball pressed in.

Cool. I thought about using rubber cap on the rod. Or maybe do what you suggest.

Yea, the rubber cap would work great, lets see who can find something first.

I just spoke to someone from stag arms. He told me the left handed upper and dust cover hinge is design to work with delta ring. Due to liability reason, he can't tell me what to use and stag doesn't have anything to work with issue I have.

I guess going back to drawing board. Need someone that is creative to think of something

1/8" rubber cap works perfect.

No biggie. Rubber cap works really well. I am happy with it. I just hope it can with stand the heat

If you are shooting that much, melting the thing will be the least of your worries. LOL

That's true.

Thanks to Red333 for the suggestion. Who knew something that cheap and simple can fix something as complicate as AR15 :)
