new guy requests permission to come aboard. just got a yugo m24/47 from j and g sales and a case of 8mm ammo, old, corrosive type, but clean in the sealed tin. First round does not go boom, so I chucked it, then none of them worked until I recocked usually 2 or 3 times. I cleaned the bolt and reciever with hoppes #9 to remove the heavy grease and swabbed the bore. I cound not figure how to remove the bolt and dissemble it. Is the gunk in the bolt body retarding the firing pin, sure looks like a light firing pin strike. How does a guy get the bolt out and taken apart? this is a cool rifle, old but with lots of character and a good feel, good cartridge too. Thanks for any help.
