i have an AMD-65 that was built up from a kit on an OOW reciever and recently discovered something unusual. if i pull the bolt carrier back slowly it will lock just short of the recoil spring's full compression. it will not do this when i fire it, just when i pull it back somewhat slowly. it will release if i pull it back a little and let it go but i cannot push it forward. my question is this; is this normal or a sign of something wrong with my rifle?
the boltcarrier will stay back with or without a magazine in the rifle.
