Crappy mag catch
So having owned multiple M4 variants this is the first case where ive seen something like this.
I picked up a G&G GR16 R4 RIS and the mag catch is unlike any other ive seen. It litterally falls apart within firing off 1x 30rnd mag. Its not built like the ones where you simply screw in little allen key screw into the mag release button.. but instead the pieces just push together with no way of securing them. This has to be the shittiest design ive ever seen.. and on a rifle so nice I can't believe its rendered useless if after removing and putting in 1 mag the entire mag catch pops out and falls into 3 different pieces.
It could be glued, but the way its put together, you'd have no way of taking it apart when needed. Mag catches are as cheap as dirt... but it still doesn't solve the problem of how crappy this one is. lol!
For those who don't know what im talking about i'll try to get pics of it.. for those who have a little experience with them, maybe shed some light. Needless to say i'll be buying a new mag catch, as this one was falling apart out of the box brand new.
