quality is hit or miss

I’ve read both good and bad reviews of these kits so I decided to try one out. Within the first 20 rounds I began having double feeds so I tore apart the kit to inspect. Upon inspection the extractor appeared to not engage the rim. I noticed that the groove cut for the extractor was not deep enough for the extractor to catch the cartridge rim when the bolt closed. I also noticed that the chamber was very very rough. Even after cleaning and oiling the casings were very hard to get IN and OUT of the chamber. Upon firing, the casings have a HAZY look symptomatic of a ROUGH chamber. All said and done after about 2 hours with the dremel now my kit works flawlessly. I cut the extractor groove to the depth it should be, I polished the chamber to a mirror shine, I reshaped the extractor to mate up properly with the groove in the chamber adapter. The reason I rated so low is because you should not have to do this much work to a $200 gun part. CMMG should test their kits multiple times before they leave the factory.
