Thanks. Unfortunately doing what Springfield told me to do hitting with a rubber mallet and cloth covering the dust cover as not to mark it I created a small ding in the receiver where the plunger hits the receiver. It does close with a good whack. I made several of these whacks closings...

Thanks and I agree. I paid a lot of money for my new Saint Victor 5.56. As you stated you would believe this would have been spotted at the factory QC. I don't really want to replace the cover on a brand new gun if possible.

Thanks. My particular model does not seem that easy and have yet to see any video.

Thanks. The issue is if it will not close at all don't know how it will loosen up? I guess if I use a flat edge to assist closing repeatedly over time maybe it will.

Thanks. No, the rods are not bent. I can take a flat edge and depress the ball-looking plunger that keeps the cover closed and it will close. Will not close just hitting the dust cover without manually depressing the plunger. I guess maybe the plunger is new and too stiff?

I purchased my new Saint-Victor B5 less than a year ago new. The dust cover would not close even after pushing heavily. I did not notice this until after getting home with my new gun. I contacted Springfield and was told they would simply hit the cover with an armorer's hammer several times...
