Hello everyone,
I noticed I can no longer release the bolt using the bolt catch release pin located near the trigger, in my M40A1. I am guessing the metal catch is not lowering enough for the bolt to be "free". If I take the entire rifle stock out and manually push the metal catch lever I can get the bolt to release. It seems to be a matter of 1-2mm at best.
Does this sound familiar to any of you? It looks like the release pin is not pushing the catch lever high enough.
It is not of critical importance, but I might give it a look in a couple days when my upgrade parts arrive.
As usual, thanks for your expertise, stay frosty and make every shot count
