Today I was shooting a few rounds and when I would fire the last shot in the mag, the bolt would not stay open. I only had one mag with me but it has never done this before. I tried 2 or 3 times and I would not stay open. Everything else works fine though. What can I do to fix this?

I've had this happen with followers that are slightly worn.  Just a little scrape off the back of
the plastic follower and the bolt rides over the top and the bolt closes.

As the other guy said, try a different mag.  Either your follower is worn as I described, or
it is not rising high enough in the mag due to the mag being weird or the follower sticking.
