Just curious about something that I experienced lately, want to know if it is normal or not.
Has anyone ever had the problem, where they stick in a fresh fully loaded 20 round mag, go to pull the bolt back to strip a fresh round, and have the bolt get stuck near the end of the mag and not quite clear it?
I stick in a fresh mag, I go to pull the op rod back....and the bolt gets caught on top of the mag feed lips.
I then pull the mag out, let the bolt slam back, stick in the mag again and this time pull back the op rod REALLY hard. This usually chambers a roumd, however, why would the bolt ever get stuck on the mag in the first place?
It shouldn't get hung up on a mags fed lips by just applying a regular amount of force when pulling the op rod, should it? Could it be that when I changed stocks I didn't seat the receiver in properly or something? Could the rifle need grease? Has anyone ever experienced something like this before?
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
