Took my new T1X to a CRPS event on Friday, before I could load my first round of the morning my bolt fell out. When I looked at the side of the receiver I saw the release was missing. Found the release on my mat and the spring in the receiver. Later in the day was able to find the pin (must have rattled out of the stock eventually).

Disassembled it today and it went back together find, but there I don't see anything to stop it from reoccurring.

Did a bit of online searching, didn't seem like a common problem. I saw it mentioned a few times that there should be a lip or something in the stock that would prevent the pin from simply falling out.

When I look through the bottom of the stock the pin is clearly visible and there is nothing below it to stop it from walking out.

Any ideas?

I've have several T3x and CZ457 with no issues related to yours but if you're looking for a quick non-permanent solution, I would try a small dab of hot glue on the pin or on the stock/trigger guard where the pin would contact to prevent the pin from walking out and work your system to see if it helps.

Good Luck
 
Thanks for the response. Compared it to my T3X this morning, the T3X definitely has a lip built in to the stock to prevent the pin from falling out.
