 Problems with build

I have assembled a POF 308 NP3 lower using a DPMS lower parts kit and Timney trigger and have a couple of questions.


1. I have followed the directions in the build area regarding the bolt catch but it still will not hold the bold open. The assemble includes the use of the ambi parts plus the LPK parts but it still does not seem to work.

2. The ambi parts did not include the left sided mag release part. Is this an oversite or is this standard? The mag release works just fine from the right but there is no option for it to work on the left.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

On #2, is this looking at the receiver from the backside of it (IE: as if you are holding the firearm to shoot it) there should be a flat paddle release, screw pin and a extra long bolt hold open detent.
