Possible Cause 1:
The magazine follower is too short to activate the bolt stop.
Solution 1:
Select another magazine. FAL magazines have a wide variance in tolerance and not all magazines will function properly in every firearm.
Possible Cause 2:
Gas System is adjusted too low.
Solution 2:
Adjust the Gas System Regulator clockwise one position. Load one round into a magazine and insert it into the rifle. Chamber round and fire. Repeat
adjustments until bolt locks open consistently.
Possible Cause 3:
Magazine spring is excessively weak and is not strong enough to lift bolt stop.
Solution 3:
This magazine spring must be replaced. Use a different magazine until springs can be located.
Problem:
Rifle jams after fifth round consistently.
Possible Cause:
The ejection chute is not properly aligned with the Ejection chute port at the front of the rifle.
Solution:
Unload the rifle. Disassemble the rifle. Pull down the handguard by pulling out the Forward Assembly Pin. Ensure there is no debris blocking the chute and
that it is properly attached. Take an empty case and insert it into the rear of the ejection chute. Angling the rifle downward, release the empty case and see if
it jams. Attempt to realign the Ejection Chute to clear. If problems persist, consult a qualified gunsmith.
