I didn't like it and it's not parallel with the bolt, that could create higher impact and get more wear on the bolt too. even when I shoot in auto, almost every 5 shots and having one to two weak shots, so strange. then I shim a small piece of paper and hold it in place(tilt down a bit), everything are working perfectly......spring rod parallel with the bolt and moving freely, cover is closed easily, full auto is so smooth now.
So you shim the paper in between the spring rod and the latch like I was thinking? Or did you put it somewhere else? See below (borrowed pic from Rommen)
