I'd replace the bolt catch spring. While disassembled, I'd clean the recess the catch sits in and the catch itself.

Does it do it with every magazine. Put 2 or 3 rounds in the mags you use. See if you can isolate the problem mags. It might be that the follower comes up high enough in that Mag to lift the bolt catch. Or switch followers and try the problem mags again

Quote HistoryQuoted: I had one that the spring plunger was sticking due to debris from anodizing. Same symptom. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'd replace the bolt catch spring.

Some parts I've used didn't fit quite as smoothly as others. |

That was it. Took it apart and the plunger was stuck. Took needle nose pliers to remove it. Cleaned it up and put it back together. Works much better. Will test during next weeks range trip.
