CSA - bolt catch no worky

[id64]

My bolt catch stop functioning properly. I have about 500 rounds trough this rifle and it's kind of soon for the wear and tear. Or is it?

Look at it, any damage or wear on it?

The mags activate the catch when the gun is empty.

Can you manually lock open the bolt?

 

[id64]

I can manually lock it, but if I rock it back and forth it looses the catch with mag inserted.

Are you using the original mags?

They all do that because the bolt moves back a bit witch lets the tension off the bolt catch and let's it go down.

If you rock the mag back and forth it'll release the bolt?

Have you taken the bolt catch out to see if there is anything storage going on with the spring in there? Possibly too much spring pressure allowing the catch to be released when it shouldn't be.
