Pro Build Tips
-
Check for carbon buildup on both the bolt catch and bolt face—this is a common cause of failures to lock back
-
Verify your magazines are feeding properly and are not over-worn or under-sprung
-
If you're running suppressed or tuning a gas system, remember that under-gassing can cause failed lock-back on the last round
-
Combine with an ambi mag release for full control and faster manipulation from either side of the rifle
