Started to put my 50 cal kit on my etek 2 and.... It doesn't fit.
The feedneck insert wouldn't go in the gun and the feedneck wouldn't go on

Did you try putting it in the right way forward? Did you take out your regular detents before trying to put it in?

Ya. I did everything right. The breech insert fit great as well as the bolt. Just the feedneck insert and the feedneck

Is the little slot in the top of the feed neck insert facing the barrel?

Nope, the insert sits in the body, they give you a whole new .50 feedneck.

more than likely they will drill a slot in the insert on one side, drill a slot on the other and it will fall out. the rest of the kit will come out then and they will warranty the damaged parts. the body should be just fine.

finally got it back a couple weeks ago, took a bit longer but they gave me an entire new .50 kit, this one had the same problem with the feedneck insert, so i took it to my machinist and we turned the OD down very slightly till it slid in and out snug, but i could jam my pinkey finger in it and yank it out, then put it on a polishing wheel to give it a nice shine and it easily slides now. problem solved. you can EASILY sand it down enough with sand paper seems like PE measured it before anno and the anno was just a little thick, this kit is the same color, blue inserts.

anyways, as far as i am mine works fine, though i think they changed some settings because the bolt isn't moving consistently.

edit: fixed the bolt problem, seems the o-rings on the bolt were making it just too tight of a squeeze, the bolt from the original kit (that is at my girlfriends house) doesn't have this same problem, but removing the o-rings solved the problem just fine, or atleast enough to get by until i get the other bolt. now i just need to get to walmart and grab another case to re tune this thing.

Why is your bolt at your girlfriend's house? You never leave your bolt laying around.
