I just got a new A5 Sweet Sixteen and when assembling the bbl/forearm the bbl will not seat in the receiver all the way. Anybody else have this problem? |

Did you pull the bolt back before you tried to seat the barrel? Just asking.

Post some photos. That'll make it easier to determine what the problem is. |

Did you have the forearm installed on the barrel so its as far forward on the barrel as possible before you tried installing? If so, how big of a gap are you talking? I had the same question when I first got one because it does have a very slight gap; it doesn't quite snug up against the receiver like an original A5. |

I experienced this as well. I just picked up a new sweet 16 a5 and what I found is to turn the cap REALLY tight on the front of the forearm and it will close the gap pretty well. |
