small problem: BOLTCATCH FAILS while firing empty mag (WE Scar)

Hi,

as the title says, I have a problem with my Boltcatch on my WE Scar.

When the mag is fully filled with gas + with bb's and I shoot it empty, at the end the boltcatch does not work after the last bb got out!
It keeps dryfiring. (although the button on the magazine is engaged to make it catch)
However, the boltcatch does work if I dryfire it vertically, so with the point of the gun aimed to the sky!
Here is just a picture to show when it works and when it doesnt work:


The bolt catch also works when a mag is first used and fully filled with gas, for the first 5-10 bb's.
After that last bb, it will engage, even in horizontal position. But after a bigger amount of bb's it wont work.
This seems like cool down effect on the bolt or something?

Little detail: I renewed the whole trigger assembly (you can buy it seperate as part #93)

Since than I had the boltcatch problem....before that with my faulty trigger assembly the bolt catch worked perfectly....

But how does this come that after emptying a full magazine in horizontal position, the catch wont engage?
Is the new trigger holding the bolt back somehow preventing it to go back fully? So does it have to be worn in?
(I've shot already like 15 - 20 magazines with the new trigger assembly...)

And does cool down effect also play a role?
As I said, after only 5-7 bb's for the first time, the catch does work.
But after more than that, it seems to work only vertically aimed.
Temp is around 15-17°C I think, so quite cold.


thx all!
