[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3753401, member: 15054"] With your explanation of what works and what does not I come to the conclusion that the Ammo loaded magazine does not work and that would mean friction on the bolt and the loaded round is causing enough extra friction to keep the bolt from going into battery. Can you polish the bottom of the bolt. Is that bolt fat enough to remove some material and then polish it. And another thing that was stated earlier in the thread was the buffer spring. Can this rifle still cycle with a stiffer spring? A stiffer spring may allow it to go into battery. You could probably stack some sort of wood block or big Nut at the end of the spring to test it by hand. And lastly doesn't the bolt slide across the top of the hammer also. Another part to polish. I would polish everything and oil it then wipe off oil and try it. That is what I would do if it was mine. [/QUOTE]
