Hi!
I'm having a problem when I thread on the handguard all the way it pushes the barrel assembly too far back so the bolt can't be locked...
What am I doing wrong here?

If the kit came from me, send me a dm with your order #. A few early orders went out with the reinforced ring out of spec, too thick..this may be what's causing your issue, and if so, I'll send replacement parts no charge

No kit, all diy

The handguard shouldnt be pushing the barrel. The barrel should be firmly against the upper receiver and just held in place by handguard. What barrel are you using?

I think the problem ist that the bolt hits the extension before the handle can lock
