My .308 learned a new trick... Bolt catch not catching properly.

I had the same problem with my Mega Maten lower, as did many others, with the bolt catch it came with from Mega. It looks to be  DPMS part. It was barely holding the bolt back by a very small amount when the bolt was locked back. I swapped it out for a CMMG 308 bolt catch and now it cover much more of the bolt lug when the bolt is locked back. I used the bolt catch that came with the Maten on a Cross Machine Tool lower and it works like it should. I think it might have something to do with the pocket for the bolt catch in the lower on the Maten not being compatible with the DPMS part. How much of the lugs on the bolt is your bolt catch covering when locked back?
