Bolt Catch catches twice? Edge of BCG and End of Bolt?

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!

LT
