Bren 805: Bolt Release + Safety = Malfunction
« on: November 19, 2016, 01:32:04 AM »



Wondering if anybody else has seen this issue:

1. Lock bolt to the rear
2. Place weapon on safe
3. Insert loaded magazine
4. Use charging handle to release bolt
5. Bolt strips round from magazine but locks up 80% of the way to close
6. Inertia carries round into chamber
7. Bolt stuck unable to move forward to fire or backward to clear the round
8. Disassembly required to push rod down barrel to remove round and reset trigger mechanism so bolt can move freely

Seems like a design flaw or maybe my safety is not working properly.   :cry:
