When I first got mine, it wouldnt release either, make sure its unloaded, and then just play around with it. Lol thats what I did and it eventually released. Never did it again after that first try. Mine released finally with a loaded mag in it.

If you have an empty magazine in there, the bolt will stay open. It's supposed to do that.

Eject the magazine and re-work the action. :goodjob:

He said he already tried with mag out. After mine did it the first time, it never happened again. I think it was just because the gun hadnt been used in a while. Idk though.

Then it's just broke then.....:lmfao:


Probably needs to try and pull back the bolt back a little harder or try it with a loaded mag. :thinking:

Yeah, Like I said, took me about 5 minutes to get it to release the first time. Just played around with it, pulled it back and released it, safety on, safety off etc.

If I remember the 702 plinksters had a built in catch for the trigger. Trying firing the trigger without the mag in or loaded of course and then pull back on the charging handle at the same time with the safety off and see if it will ride forward.

That may have been what I did to get it to release.

so it was jam, stuck, or anything...my buddy said you had to pull it back and hold onto the thingy that holds the clips...kinda like a safety thingy i have no idea...just dropped it off then he called me back in like 10 mins that it was fixed lol
