Max Machine Tower - Drive Spacer required???
Just pulled off a 2" spacer to try a higher x and seems the Max tower in my upper protrudes down at least a 1/4" which is not allowing the lower to fully install. A stock upper is flush. What am I missing??? Do I have to run at least a 1/2" spacer? Seems odd

Heres the deal- the Max worx tower uses a locknut on the bottom with a oring on it that measures EXACTLY .250 thick which is exactly how thick the spacer/collar in a stock lower is (this piece is REMOVED from a stock lower to bolt it on). SO, to install a drive spacer you need to machine the top of it to fit the tower nut they added and shorten the aluminum center piece that everyone uses in a space then you need to add a stock collar/spacer to lower. To remove a spacer that must have been modified as I mentioned you will need to remove the oring and .250 spacer around the verticle shaft to allow drive to sit into it properly, Smitty
