Bolt release question/issue

[Solus]

I'm paranoid about dust.

I could never store a weapon with the action open....think of all the dust creeping in!!

I shun weapons that fire from an open bolt for the same reason.    At least the AR has the decency to cover up the hole.

Any dust that creeps down the barrel of my guns deserves to be shot.

Hold it by the barrel and drop it about 6 inches onto your toe wearing leather boots or shoes.
I'm thinking that with out thinking you held it by the receiver and may have been holding the release locked.

Nope, I held them just below the flash hider and slammed the butt onto a tile floor. I hit one so hard I actually thought I cracked the tile for a second. I've had a bolt slam before, I just couldn't recreate it on demand.

I have never heard about this issue relating to the ar15. I pulled both my 5.56 carbines and my .308 and niether slammed home. I dropped all three to the ground from about 4 feet in the air. I guess not all ar's are built the same.
