Now the problem with this gun sounds exactly like sticky bolt syndrome it refuse to work right no matter what I have done to it. I have been working on it for over a month now and just quit a half a dozen times over that period. If you try and fire it the gun will load and shoot normal but when you try and extract the shell you have a recurring problem. You can unlock the bolt but it will not without using a rubber mallet extract the spent shell. Sometimes you have to hit it so hard the mag will open and spill the unused shells on the ground. There are not markings on any of the spent shells regardless of which type of ammo I use and believe me I have tried everything.
I have used a stainless steel shotgun brush chucked up in a drill motor with any kind of solvent you can name uncountable times. Changed interrupters and spring multiple times. Replaced mag housings and pushers multiple times. Changed entire bolts many times. Soaked the receiver over night in three or four different solvents multiple times and used a stainless brush on the inside of it too. I even used stainless steel wool on the brush I did the chamber with and used it saturated with carb cleaner till it shines. I can see nothing in that chamber and if you slide a bullet in there it seats itself in the chamber it is so clean without the bolt. This rifle has done this from the very first shot I ever tried to put through it so I know there is something I am missing but Joe and I have worked on this thing till we just set it aside in the shop in sheer frustration. Joe even suggested selling the rubber mallet with the rifle but my pride won't let me do that.
So there it is and believe me I am open to thoughts.
