my bolt will not lock open when the gun shoots a mag dry. i tried cleaning it and oiling it w/ no change. it just started happening one day. it has happened w/ 5 different mags over 200 rnds. it happens every time. but other than that problem, the gun still shoots great. anyone have any suggestions? i did a search and looked in the faqs w/out success. thanks |

oldguy, the key is the tube where the gas tube goes, right? there are 2 hex head screws holding that down and they are very tight. i could not even move them. the do not look cracked. G35, i'm using the same ammo i have always been using: new wolf polymer 55gr. FMJ and federal LC XM193 55gr. i have shot thousands of both these brands w/ no problems beore. the only thing i do notice is that there is a slight burr on the top of the bolt catch in side the gun. could this be the problem? it's a very small scratch. any other suggestions? |
| I'm watching this thread closely in that I'm having the same problem. Tweak, I can manually lock the bolt back with the upper and lower assembled. Oldguy, the screws in the key are tight, but had recently worked loose, causing shortstroking. It's happening with all my mags, and happens often when cycling the bolt by hand on an empty mag. |
