308 Bolt Catch Problem

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?

*** Just realized I posted in the wrong section. Please disregard this post and I will re-post in the semi-automatic section. Sorry!

This is the bolt action forum not the semi auto forum. You might want to ask a moderator to move it to the correct forum or try reporting in that section.

Who manufactured the BCG your using?
