It almost seems like the buffer isnt big enough, can anyone give me some confirmation or help with this?

Hopefully once I get this resolved I can post up my specs!

There is a spring loaded buffer that forces the bolt catch down (releases the bolt) The idea being that while the gun is cycling rounds from the magazine, the bolt catch is held out of the way by that sprung buffer. If your bolt catch flops around loosely, I would guess the buffer and/or spring weren't installed.

Hope that helps
