Hey guys, I have a new DPMS Oracle that releases the bolt without depressing the bolt catch. I first noticed it when putting it in the safe with the bolt locked open, no mag. As soon as the stock hit the floor, the bolt slammed home. I tried it a few more times with the same result. At the range, I inserted a loaded mag with the bolt locked open and the bolt would release before the mag was fully inserted. When this happens, it does not feed a round, fortunately. I have been able to replicate the problem several times. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris |
| Normally, the BCG will slam home when you impact the butt. It is NOT normal for the BCG to go into battery with a simple magazine insertion. Sounds like your bolt catch plunger & spring needs inspection/replacement. The channel should be free and clear of burs or debris, and the spring should be of a certain type. Someone could have installed a spring that is too strong, so it drive the bolt catch into the down position more readily, but this is just a guess. |
