Hi All,
Just received my E4 stock, and while assembling my rifle onto it I noticed that the bolt hold open did not release the bolt when the a) mag was removed and the b) bolt hold open depressed. I tore it down several times (sore thumb) and it does not seem to have any problems, it just doesn't lower the latch far enough to allow the bolt to ride over it. My STG556 stock and BHO did not have any problems like this. Any suggestions? thanks, CaliRN |

The tab on the back side of the bolt release may not be sitting on top of its mating tab on the actual BHO.
Try this: Remove your hammer pack. while the hammer pack is out, press down on the LOWER part of the bolt release lever while re-inserting the hammer pack. If this doesn't work, try swapping in the hammer pack from your STG stock. If it STILL won't work, you may have either a defective bolt release and/or defective stock |

SOLUTION FOUND
While looking at the plastic bolt release it was too short, so I built up a pad with JB weld, let it cook off overnight and filed it down, and after a bit of trial and effort the bolt release works like it should. Will contact MSAR for a replacement. thanks, CaliRN |
