Well after three years of having my lower, I finally bit the bullet and BUilt my first AR... I haven't owned one prior to building it! THe gun fires fine without any hiccups, except the fact that the bolt relase does not work, at all. THe last shot does not hold open... Did I do somethign wrong? The gun fires and rapid fires fine! I have a 20" Flat Top, CAR Stock (for the younger shooters in my family), Kit from J&T Like it alot... Have cheap BSA Red dot right now... will afford better optics later! |
+1 You might be missing a spring or cut or kinked a spring when you put it in. It could be your magazine as well. |

I'm no expert, but IIRC, someone had this problem and either they were using the wrong spring/buffer. They were using a rifle buffer or spring in a carbine stock. Perhaps we should as this. If you pull the bolt back manually, can you engage the bolt catch? Does it engage with ease? Just a couple thoughts. Gundraw |

Problem Fixed.... I had done everythign right... they just sent me a BOlt Catch Spring that had too much Tension on it and didn't allow the Magazine to push up the Bolt Catch. New Spring... Right Spring ANd it works just FINE!  It works great! GOt 4 new mags today, can't wait to make some noise! -CHuck |
