View attachment 308701Ya, I can’t do that, the front goes down 3/4 inch or so, the back don’t move.
It’s very hard to push in with my thumb.
I think that the cartridges are in there so tight that the Buffer spring don’t have enough power to push the round all the way out.

I removed the material on the front and it’s working much better, still really stiff spring though.
Another question though.
With a full mag in and the bolt locked back, should the bolt be resting / locked on the case head? Pushing the cartridge about a 1/4 inch into the chamber?
Here’s a pic of the bolt locked back and then a full mag inserted.
You can see the bolt is sitting on the cartridge

It should be locked back by an empty magazine or the bolt catch, definately not a live round.
With a mag empty the follower will push the bolt catch up to snag the bolt.
It is possible to have the bolt snag on the magazine follower or rear of certain mags if it doesn't fully cycle but it should be coming back further to be held by the bolt catch. You should be able to pull it back further and engage the bolt catch manually to hold the bolt back and away from any live rounds.

It’ll lock back on the empty mag and the catch.
But when I lock it back with the catch and inset a mag, the cartridge is under the bolt.
Or if I insert a mag and then look the bolt back, it locks on the case head , thereby pushing the cartridge forward,about an 1/2 inch
It appears as though the bolt is not locking back far enough.
The gun functions fine when I insert a mag,pull the charging handle all the way back and release.
But will not lock back on last rnd.

It’s a build, I bought the set with the LPK already installed.
It’s my third build, with the Stag 10.
When it’s locked back I can see about 3/4 inch of the bolt sticking out through the ejection port.
It can be pulled back until it’s flush with the ejection port opening.
I do have an B.A.D enhanced bolt catch kicking around.

Pmag works fine when I insert and pull back charging handle an release.
But if bolt is locked back and I insert Pmag, and use the bolt release button, the bolt just rides over the cartridge, because the the cartridge is under the bolt.
Would be same issue as if I inserted a fresh mag after last round hold open on previous mag.
When I lock the bolt,it still has about 3/4 inch of rearward play.

OK I think I got it.
I just removed a section of the spring , in the ASC mag ,and it’s working much better. I’ll test it tomorrow.
Still not quite sure why the bolt was riding over the rnd though.
I checked fo correct alignment of gas block etc.
Everything appears to be good.
Only issue I can see is lack of last rnd hold open, but it not that important to me.
Thanks

Hey guys, sorry but I may have made a stupid mistake.
I was locking back the bolt,inserting a mag and then releasing the bolt ,with the bolt release button.
Because I was doing it like this, I realized the bolt was sitting on top of the cartridge, therefore riding over it.
Also the ASC mag seems to be working, now that I removed material from the front.
Range test tomorrow

No worries, we’ve all been there. Hope it works out!
