    Default Last round bolt hold

    I have a nice Imbel FAL that has had the trigger worked by Arizona Response Systems several years ago. It's a great shooter but doesn't lock open on a empty mag. Is there a fix for this? thanks Jim

    I would inspect the BHO to see if the Pin that is lifted by the mag is still intact.
    The whole point of being governed by a Constitution and not by men or directly by the people themselves was to stop incredible stupidity from annihilating our Freedoms. Tyranny of the majority is just as dangerous as any dictator. Especially when the majority is incredibly ******* stupid.

    1. (as above) pin on BHO. Inch pattern BHOs are designed to NOT lock open on an empty mag, only manually.
    2. tab on fmag follower that engages BHO pin - intact?
    3. spring and plunger in BHO move freely?
    4. Foot on BHO tight? A loose fit will cam inside the channel and sieze the BHO in place.
    5. Bottom leading edge of bolt or corresponding surface on BHO rounded/worn?
