KA M4: Can't open dust cover
Hi all
Received my M4, model KA-AG-35 (Larue 7") not so long ago. Working fine and all, but out of a sudden it seems i can't open the dust cover anymore. Pulling the charging handle, I can hear the ornamental bolt retract itself and snap in place, and pushing the bolt release works fine, but the cover will stay closed. I tried sticking a rare earth magnet on it and use it as a "knob" to pull it open but it definitely won't move... Any suggestions? |

Can you pull the charging handle farther back than usual? This happened with my KA receiver, I ended up snapping the charging handle arm. Take your upper receiver off and you should be able to see what's wrong.

I'll take a look thanks
I don't think I was able to pull it farther than usual but I'll pay attention. Also, it's my 1st AEG, any indications about how to open the receiver? |

Alright guys problem solved
Opened the receiver and turns out the fake bolt is just a somewhat cheap, thin, metal sheet that was not properly seated in its "rail". The charging handle has a small piece that rub against the dust cover lockpin to open it, and because of the fake bolt misalignement there was not enough pressure to make it open. I had to use pliers to bend a thing or two to make things a bit more tense. Also took the opportunity to shorten the way too long charging handle spring. Thanks |
