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
