Ok.. looking for a little guidance, and hoping someone has run across the same issue. Search didn't seem to get me there so here I am. This is a new build - and here are the pertinent parts:
Gibbz G10 side charge upper. Matching G10 lower. Bolt catch was from a lpk by Guntec USA. All my supplier had in stock.
Initially the bolt catch would simply not engage the bolt. Even lifting the catch with your finger, it simply would not lift high enough to engage the bolt, or even touch any of the locking lugs. After inspection, I noticed the bolt catch was hitting the upper, so the demel, mini files, and some polish and paint later, the catch was able to lift high enough to engage the bolt. But this brought on a new problem. The tang on the catch that engages the magazine follower, now will slide off the side of the follower, and jam the bolt. If I depress the follower through the ejection port, I can lift the catch to the desired height and it engages the bolt fine. Manually running the bolt back with a mag in it, will simply not work. The only 2 mags I have to try, are a pmag, and a dpms metal mag. Same issues with both.
Can anyone recommend either a differant brand of catch that is designed to work with this combination, or an acceptable remedy?
Thanks!!
