| Just got a new x95 and playing with it at home it sometimes does not lock open on an empty mag from hand cycling. Does with with gen 2 and 3 pmags and d&h mags. Is there a problem with the gun? Would a good cleaning fix this or breaking it in? I have not shot it yet and was wondering if this is normal or not |

Quoted:
Known good mags that aren't worn out? Stuck or broken bolt catch? Bad mag catch? My AUG Nato doesn't lock back with gen 2 PMAGS, so I don't use those. But the stock is very new and needed fitting, so could be a break in issue. The gen three I am using is the pmag it came with. So it's new. Plus I just gave it a good cleaning and got a lot of orange crap out of it but it's still doing it. |

If it were me I would give it 500 rounds of so, then get ahold of IWI if it's still doing it.
Some of the preservative crap these companies put on guns is just nasty. I could barely move my ACR's stock when I first got it, so a good deep clean is a great idea. Can you look into the action and really see what is going on? If the mags are riding low that should be noticeable looking in the ejection port. I would assume the same for the bolt catch. If you lock it back with no mag then insert an empty mag, does everything touch or line up right? |
