Did you ever dremel the little nub off the boltstop? Qlong has a tutorial where he shows which part to remove.


This fixed all the problem with my open bolt A1 not locking back.

I don't know how to link to a specific post so here's a quote:

I grinded the extra bit of this off and now the extra spacing inside the receiver allows the catch to engage fully.
