The conversion from a non replacable bolt plate to a replacable bolt plate is not for a hobbiest. If not properly fitted there will be all kinds of problems. One such symptom is what Brian is describing with the bolt sticking if the top lever is allowed to snap shut. This means that the 12 1/2 degree angle that the bolt operates on is just not quite right causing the bolt to lock on the bolt plate. There are three different types of bolts. First is the non replacable,second is the replacable with a full width bite and the third and latest is a replacable bolt with the two sides relieved. As far as the bolts go they are all the same profile.Just an angle cut at the 12 1/2 degrees.
