New Seekins AR bolt catch not working correct...

[Terphunter]

So i got this sexy Seekins bolt catch but it only works the right way on my metal magazines, my Pmag gen 3 magazines but not my favorite original Pamgs??

Anything i can do to modify either the bolt catch or the magazines to make the bolt stay back until i drop it for the original Pmags??

Have you swapped followers with a known good mag to see if that corrects it?

Yes...i got it worked out. All other mags work fine just the orginal Pmag...it needed a small trim...now its holding the bolt back fine!

You didn't read my post carefully. I didn't ask about the whole magazine. I asked if you tried the FOLLOWER from a good mag in the one that wasn't holding it open.

There's a difference, and a reason I was specific.

No I didn't try swaping a follower....but I did get a test one to work by trimming it a little bit to make it a little it more squared off. Works fine now....only have a few mags to adjust. I really like the Seekins bolt catch so I'm glad it will work out!

Thanks for the input...

Followers would be easier to swap than trimming mags.

But to each their own. If it works and your happy, more power to you.

working = working. the how, in this case, ain't as important as the prior stated fact.

good deal OP.
