Hey everyone, tried looking for an answer on here and other forums but have come up with nothing so far.

The issue is my WE Scar (open bolt) is not engaging the bolt stop. Yes I know the switch needs to be up on the mag and it is. I have 5 mags and at first they all worked fine but now it does not lock back about 90% of the time.

I have determined that the issue is the Magazine not being held in tightly enough. If I tip the gun vertical or upside down it will lock every time. Additionally of I put pressure on the bottom of the mag while the gun is right side up it will also engage.

Has anyone else come accross this issue? Should I just add a shim to the bolt catch? As a test I just wrapped some tape around the little piece that the mag presses up to engage the bolt catch and that helped. I have read that people have super glued pieces of credit cards on their M4 bolt catch.... I assume I can do that same?

Any help is appreciated!
