New Stag-10 feeding issue

Both issues you are dealing with are caused by user error, and lack of understanding the Manual of Arms.

1. If seen this a hundred times with new recruits feeding blanks or live rounds the first time. They will approach me saying the rifle has jammed when I charged it. It's a user error in riding the cocking handle forward, or not letting it completley go from the full back position.

Solution- if you lock the bolt back, insert a magazine, hit the bolt release, and the bolt feeds a round and seats completely it's you, not the rifle.

2. The bolt when locked back will release on it's own when the rifle gets knocked or hit. Yes.... yes it will. This is not a problem or fault. It can be a blessing, and I'm half convinced it was designed that way. If under stress a user can insert a new mag with the bolt locked to the rear, miss the bolt catch but the bolt will still drop if he hits the side of the rifle.

Sometimes with gloves this is what I do. Firing until the rifle stops, look and see an empty mag with the bolt to the rear, put in a new mag, and smack the side of the rifle in the general area of the bolt release, and it will fall forward.

Dont change or alter any parts until you have had a chance to become familiar with the rifle, and it concept of use. Remember that 99% of the time it's the screw behind the rifle that loose, not the rifle.

And always; be wary of random internet advice from strangers.

on my last round the bolt will hold open, i drop the mag the bolt releases.
how is that end user error?
so now i put in a new mag and i have to recharge the bolt.
that sounds like a mag release error to me.

and i was slapping the bolt release on the first round and it was getting jammed up - round pointing too high in the chamber.
if you read my post you would have seen that.

my 7 AR's must be anomalies as they bolt release does not release unless i hit the release or charge the handle back.
guess i got the only 7 that do that....

i did highlight one suggestion of yours that looks to be accurate.
 
replaced the stock bolt release with a phase5 ambi one and that seems to have fixed the the premature bolt releasing issues.

will head out tomorrow and see how it functions during live fire.
