PC4 BOLT NOT LOCKING BACK

[Elmstreet]

On last round fired bolt does dont lock back in the open position. Same issue with 4 magazines. Issue started wiith two of the mags and now will not lock back with any of them.

Anyone experienced the same problem? Anyone know of a simple fix?


Thanks

I'm not sure it's supposed to lock back on an empty magazine.... but I must be wrong. free bump for better advice.

I have a PC4 too and mine does not lock back either. The only way to get it to lock back is using the pistol style stop on the left side of the receiver. It's not suppose to lock back on an empty mag. I wish it would but I guess we don't get everything we want.

From the PC4 manual . . .

https://ruger-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/_manuals/rugerCarbine.pdf

"When the last shot has been fired and the magazine is empty, the slide stop automatically holds the slide open. When there is an empty magazine in the rifle and the slide is retracted manually, the slide stop will have to be manually actuated to hold the slide open. If a loaded magazine is inserted in the rifle when the slide is closed and the slide is then retracted fully, the slide stop will not automatically hold open the slide. The user can actuate the slide stop mechanism to hold the slide open at any time by retracting the slide and pushing up the slide stop."

Thanks all. Ale-8 is correct as to manual instructions. Unless someone has a simple fix for the issue I can live with it, have so far.
