Do you mean the cartridge carrier? #22 in the picture?

It should normally be in the raised position as the breech bolt is moving forward. So that shouldn't be preventing the breech bolt from moving forward.
Do you have the finger lever installed with the screw installed?

Wes,

Are you still taking it apart? I am a tad confused by this question:
Do you have to get the bottom tang/trigger group all the way out when you install this?
Because yes, you will need to remove the lower plate in order to do the swap.

Piece of cake Wes. Just use hollow ground (gunsmith) screwdrivers so as not to bugger the heads. You will need a small punch (about 1/16") to get the trigger pin out as well. Other than that, just pay attention to how it comes apart. If you run into trouble, just come back here for help. :wink:

Leupold M8-4X Compact

Anyone use one of these?

I bought it last year and have yet to install it on a rifle I bought it as New in Box. I am trying to decide if I want to keep it and mount it on a 30-30 or just sell it.

It is a nice little scope they do not make it any more. It is very compact for sure.
