    What is the disadvantage of using a washer between the base of the BAS and the bolt to offset the additional thickness of the pieces instead of cutting it?

    Thanks.

    Not sure I follow. What washer are you referring to? The BAS is the screw. (BAS = Bolt Assembly Screw). What other screw is the reference? The BAS must be shortened, otherwise the extra length of the plate & BB would preload the firing pin spring WAY to much! Possibly even bind the coils.

    Dave, some have used a washer under the stock bas screw to move it back to avoid machining the screw.

    Yes - a washer to move the BAS back the thickness of the pieces that were added internally.

    Here is an example of a washer behind the BAS. A "Shnazzy" version.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Ok, yes...I got ya. Was just tripped up on the wording, sorry. I’ve seen that in the PTG Kit. It’s the “lazy” way. No benefit either way. I just don’t like adding things that don’t need to be there.

    Like Tungsten plugs in the BAS?

    THE PTG kit does not have a spacer. It has a flat piece on top of the Sleave and a pointed screw in the BAS.

    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
