LeadThrower Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Hello all, If you pull the charging handle back slowly with an empty magazine, should the bolt catch hold the edge of the BCG as well as the bolt face? It's been over 20 years since I've had an AR rifle, but don't remember this happening in the past. Brownells BCG and Aero Precision lower... happens with Aero and CMC bolt catches as well as Magpul 20/30 round Gen 2/3 and 30 round Brownells metal mags. I spoke to Brownells and they suggested I send the BCG back for a replacement, but they've never heard about this before. Figure I'd ask first to see if this is normal behavior or not before I start mailing parts. Pic attached to show the first spot where the catch holds the bolt carrier group. Thanks!

TonytheTiger Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Normal. It won't catch on the carrier during actual function, and don't intentionally lock it back on the carrier because it doesn't take much to send it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
