My Cyclone latch won't hook onto the front sight and I'm
looking for any suggestions to resolve this. As the feed
system moves towards the marker it does push down the
site but seems to keep it down. It's as if the cut out
on the latch is too far to the right. Should I attempt
to file down the left side of the latch? I really don't
know what to try other than trying to get a replacement
part.

Many thanks,
Fraser

Try loosening the reciever bolt that goes through the front site. Sometimes if you crank it down too much, it doesn't let the latch spring back properly.
