Quick Summary

An AR-15 bolt may fail to lock back if the buffer tube is not installed correctly, preventing proper engagement with the buffer spring and detent. A dislodged buffer detent can also obstruct the bolt carrier group. Gunsmiths can fix this by ensuring correct buffer tube seating and checking the detent's function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes an AR-15 bolt to not lock back after firing?

An AR-15 bolt may fail to lock back if the buffer tube is not installed correctly, specifically if it's not seated far enough to properly engage the buffer spring. This can also be caused by the buffer detent popping up and obstructing the bolt carrier group's rearward travel.

How can a gunsmith fix an AR-15 bolt lock-back issue?

A gunsmith can fix this issue by ensuring the buffer tube is properly installed and seated to correctly engage the buffer spring and detent. They will inspect the detent to make sure it's not sticking up and potentially adjust the buffer tube's position to allow the bolt carrier group to lock back reliably.

What is a buffer detent on an AR-15?

The buffer detent is a small pin located in the AR-15's lower receiver. Its primary functions are to prevent the buffer tube from unscrewing and to help hold the bolt carrier group to the rear when the bolt locks back.

What are some common customizations seen on a Glock 23?

Customizations on a Glock 23 can include intricate stippling for improved grip, custom slide plates, and unique engravings or designs. This video showcases a Glock 23 with Michael Jordan-themed stippling and a jersey design.
