    Issues with a Thompson receiver?

    I am building a P90 on a Thompson Machine receiver.

    All supporting parts (charging handle, springs, etc) are new from FN.

    The receiver seems to spread the ps90 stock a bit. It does not slide in smoothly.

    Consequently, when the charging handle is added, it tends to drag, and not function 100%.

    Has anyone else had similar trouble?

    Thanks

    It sounds like the receiver is too big/out of spec.

    plenty of people have built up a thompson receiver without problems. I'm just wondering if it will work itself out. I know the guy does good work.
