Build issue one is the magazine catch. It needed a small amount of material removed to be able to latch over the rear lug of the magazine.
Build issue two was the slant-brake. It stood a little proud of the front sight tower in the last detent before bottoming out. A little sanding on the back of it took care of that problem and now it's nice and flush.
