Hi all-
I just finished building my DPMS pattern 308 and I noticed that the bolt is not locking open when the magazine is empty. I have a standard 308 lower parts kit and a 10 round DPMS magazine. If I pull back on the charging handle, and press on the bottom of the bolt catch sometimes the bolt will stay open, but closes as soon as I take pressure off of the bolt catch. The magazine has a plastic feed table that seems to sometime sit at an odd angle, so I'm wondering if its just a problem with the magazine?
