Shoot the last round out of the mag while pushing in on the bolt catch. Does it lock back now?

I'm having the same trouble. Worked fine 'till I switched to a collapsible stock. I checked the spring to make sure it's shorter than the A2 one and it is. The bolt won't lock even when I try to lock the bolt manually. I've only got about 400 rnds through this rifle. Any ideas?
Thanks DocD |

I've seen this before when a customer somehow got an extra buffer detent behind the buffer. I thought I heard something strange rattling around in the buffer tube, after I took it apart there it was. That prevented the c/h, b/c from locking all the way back. You could also have the wrong size buffer in your t-stock.

wouldn't it possibly be that the spring is new and needs to be worked a little? I know that when I pull the C/H back with an empty mag, it gets stiff around when it should catch the Bolt catch. Maybe it isn't going far enough back to engage the bolt catch because of a new spring. FYI i am using a bushie upper and lower with a LMT Gen 2 ribbed stock with an H-buffer/car spring.

If the bolt doesn't come all the way back manually you have something wrong in the lower. The spring lengths are in the FAQ, compare yours to the dims.

I expirienced this today at the range. Mine did it to two specific mags I was using but it didn't do it everytime, go figure.
 EDIT: I wiped down my bolt catch, there was quite a bit of lubricant on it. I'll wait and see if that cures it, if not than it must be my two magazines. |
