wetneck Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hey guys, I have a new DPMS that releases the bolt without depressing the bolt catch. I first noticed it when putting it in the safe with the bolt locked open, no mag. As soon as the stock hit the floor, the bolt slammed home. I tried it a few more times with the same result. At the range, I inserted a loaded mag with the bolt locked open and the bolt would release before the mag was fully inserted. When this happens, it does not feed a round, fortunately. I have been able to replicate the problem several times. Any sugestions? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Did you build this, or buy it complete from a factory (or buy it as a built gun from someone else)? Does it have an AR15 bolt catch in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Does it have an AR15 bolt catch in it? This^^^. DPMS has done this several times at least recorded by members here. We have found the Armalite AR10 part to be a better alternative, and it fits into your DPMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
