So this is about the 42. I cleaned it of its cosmoline first, boiling water and dish soap on the metal parts, blow dryer on the stock. Lubed it back up and apparently not enough. I lubed it the way the USAF taught me to lube a M16. On initial dry firing testing I couldn't even get the bolt handle to lift up. So I eventually got it open, lubed it up quite a bit more and it was working "okay". I'm on some acreage so I can take it off my work bench and test fire immediately. I fired a single round through it and the bolt jammed a little, so I lubed a little more and the bolt seemed decent. I'm using Hoppes #9 as my only lubricant currently, no grease. I then ran 5 rounds through it without a problem. Except I noticed all the casings are coming out with 2 parallel scratch marks on them, I'll put a picture of that below. I then cleaned the 39 without a problem.
Today I decided to do an accuracy testing of them both and a first firing of the 39. The 39 was great, the 42 was all over the target. At this point today I've shot 4 rounds through the 42, finishing off the generic brown paper packed rounds from the gun shop. I opened up a generic white box from the sporting goods store and put 5 more rounds in the 42. First shot no noticeable issues, go to open the bolt and it's stuck. If we say bolt closed is 0 degree and handle up is 90, the handle was getting stuck at 70-80 degrees.
So I open the floorplate and 3 rounds fell out. Leaving that open I was able to jiggle the bolt handle and get the last live round out. With that round out the way I got the bolt open with a little bit of effort and found a cracked casing. I decided to not shoot anymore through that rifle and went and cleaned them out.
Is the cracked casing in any way related to the other issues I may have here or was it just a unlucky round? Is there anything I should do with this rifle at this point? Is it fixable, scrap for parts, use it to practice doing things like restoring a stock, hang it on the wall with a bayonet and impress my friends?
