Famae SG540

This is somewhat of an edge case since the mags are relatively rare... But if you have a worn out bolt catch spring and you try running the OEM 20 rounders, you may find that the bolt carrier gets locked back when feeding the last round, causing a jam.

The 20 rounders use the same spring as the 30 rounders, which means you have a higher than normal spring preload on the last round. Combine that with a weak bolt catch spring and you run into this issue.

I actually made a thread about this 7 years ago: https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1414878-FAMAE-Bolt-Stop-or-Bolt-Carrier-Problem
