After completing a magazine and putting a new one in and using the bolt release it doesn't feed a round. By the way this is my first build =/

so the bolt release is allow the bolt to slam forward, but it isn't stripping a round off the top of the magazine?

tighten your magazine catch 1/2 - 1 full turn and make sure it is fully seated.

You need to learn to describe the problem.





What you just posted is the equivalent of saying "Doctor, my body hurts, what's wrong???"





For the love of god, please describe the problem and don't make us play 20 questions to help you.





Here are the kinds of questions you should provide the answers to, without us having to ask:



What mags are you using?





Does the bolt move forward fully?





Does the bolt move forward at all?





If it does move forward but doesn't fully seat, at what point does it stop?





What upper/lower?





Who did the assembly?





Do you know how to fully strip and function check your rifle and if so, have you done this?





How much lubrication did you do on your rifle, and what did you lubricate?





Does the behavior change if the rifle is hot/cold?





Etc......

The bolt isn't stripping a round from the magazine when its held back by the bolt release. And I've tried USGI mags, c-products and magpul pmags.Its feed totally fine when shooting just when its locks back on a empty mag and you go for a reload and use the bolt release.

Where does the bolt stop when it hangs up?  Does it happen if you release the bolt with the release and an empty mag inserted?  Ie is the bolt carrier hanging on the mag lips? Post a pic of the malfunction.
