S&W FPC Bolt Catch Fix 6/7/2024

I was able to fix the bolt cage for it catches every time now after the last round of fired. The magazine release has nothing to do with the bolt holding open or not holding open.
It was about a 20 minute fix total. I may do a video showing how I fixed it for those of you that had the issue.

I had the bolt catch issue recently with my older FPC, Did you do a video of fix? I need to see it to fix mine. Thanks again for your info, George

[@hollowpointdefense]

I did do a video to explain what I did, it was really easy. I will find it and post it here.

Easy peasy... 🍻

Sure is!

Good job figuring that out !!
Do later model FPC's have the lock back problem or only the older models?

[@hollowpointdefense]

I don't believe so, I have only seen it on older versions. I bought a second FPC about 2 months a go and I compared the bolt catches to each other last night. The newer bolt catch was less angled on the left side (non ejection port side). This is the side that catches the bolt. The older bolt catch had quite a bit more angle, I set the angle to the new bolt catch and the problem disappeared immediately once rebuilt and used.
