mike456 12 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) bullet guide is done, just filed down an ak magazine and installed, when i pull back the bolt as if to load a round into chamber(magazine empty) the bolt doesnt slide all the way back forward, seems to get hung up on mag? when i release the mag the bolt then shoots forward? is it supposed to lock open after last round is fired?

LuPiN8oR 333 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 If you installed a bullet guide, instead of modding the mags to fit the rifle it is waaaaay easier to dremel the mag catch on the rifle to accept standard com blok mags. Then it'll eat from any ak mag without worry. Its not hard, just go slow and take a little off at a time and use a steel surplus mag to check fitment. Dont use tapco mags. Also, did you keep your bolt hold open tab in your fire control group? Regardless, its not uncommon for these rifles to hang up at the point you're mentioning if you are babying the charging handle.

mike456 12 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 what is the bolt hold open tab? what's its purpose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 To hold the bolt open when you press the button in while you have the charging handle pulled back. Its a little silver tab on the RH side of the trigger group. I left mine in on my s308, zoom in and you can see it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeAK 337 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 You wouldn't happen to be using a yugoslavian magazine would you? The back of the follower is cut to hold the bolt open after the last round, it releases the bolt when you remove the magazine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JoeAK 337 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's working as it should then, when the magazine is loaded, it won't do that until you fire the last round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Lol. I remember you saying you bought some Yugo mags. It's not so much the follower being cut to stop the bolt (it is reinforced), it's the follower being able to ride up higher in the body than other mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
