So for those of you too lazy to watch the vid
#1. - Sticky trigger
#2. - Bolt not locking back
Stupid question, but could it be that your trigger group is just dirty after a long day of play? Dirty, dust, n grit might b gumming up the works.
As for the bolt locking, does it still lock back from just pulling just the charging handle?

Sorry lol, figured the video is just easier than reading.
That had crosses my mind and has some had mentioned
Here and at the field, it very well could be a poor lube job.
The bolt does not lock back without an empty magazine in the gun OR with an empty magazine in the gun unless I put my finger on the bottom of the bolt catch, in which case it does.
Some mentioned of shimming the bolt catch will likely be one of the many things I will be doing as when the bolt is engaged/closed, the bolt catch has a slight wiggle to it which bothers me simply for esthetics and the odd rattle it makes.

I live on the southeastern boundary of Stouffville off the York/Durham line. Across from my house are ponds, forests and farms. People here are pretty laid back and even come over to try them out themselves, even the cop who lives behind me.

1. Sticky trigger- This is because the disconnector is catching the hammer either due to poor lubrication or just slight catching. This problem probably doesnt happen on full auto but on semi. What I would do is lube the disconnector and the hammer notch where the engagement occurs. The other thing I would do is get another hammer/disconnector.
2. In terms of the bolt catch not locking back, this is extremely common and can occur for various reasons. 1) the bolt catch is not pushed high enough by the magazine; 2) the bolt catch can not pivot high enough to engage the bolt. There are many tutorials on ASC (i posted some as well) that you can do to modify the bolt catch so that it engages the bolt more consistently when the magazine is empty. Check this out:

Ahhh yes.. This is all making sense now especially considering the trigger isn't sticky on auto. I was already planning on pulling everything apart and doing a good cleaning/lubing, so that is a check there. If I do change the hammer/disconnecter, what brand/model would you recommend (seeing as you know your shit better than I)?
Hmm. You would think WE would correct common problems.. Oh well. I will take a look at that link later on today when I'm not busy cleaning and doing groceries (Derp).

Another, perhaps silly, question. Should I not be able to switch the rifle to safe without charging the bolt? Its been a few years since using a real steel AR (at a range), but I distinctly remember being able to (and instructed to) fire my magazine, and upon empty, remove the magazine, pull the charging handle to open the bolt and ensure the chamber is clear, release/close, trigger pull down range to finally clear the weapon and flip the selector to safe.
I ask this as I received the rifle in the semi position and without charging the charging handle I can only turn the selector about halfway between semi and safe. Is this yet another problem that will need to be corrected? Or am I just a dumb dumb GBB virgin who doesn't know his GBB functionality?
