Here are the pics I've taken:


The first is of the Bolt Catch when not extended (i.e. charging handle not pulled back.




You can see that it doesn't fully cover the impression hole in the lower. I think that's what Mike was referring to when he said it's not properly oriented over the lower hole. Either that, or the spring is really weak.

Here's another view:




And another from the opposite side (sorry a bit out of focus):




If I open the lower and look at the inside, I see this:




And when I try to pull back the catch, I get this:

I still have my bipod I may get the device that lets me tighten it more, because it needs to be, but I'll keep the bag on the rear.

You can get the free version but the Pro gives you more flexibility and it’s a one time purchase (cheap too).

I'll look into it. Does it have a Kestrel hook up?

It's zeroed at 100, but not yet "true." We'll be working on that during the Long Range 201 course. I'll take that after a bit of practice at 100 yds. I need to make my groups a lot tighter.
