well guys and gals........heres the scoop so far;
I think there are several problems with this rifle, the big problem is it will not load from the magazine. the bolt doesn't seem to close enuff to let the firing pin hit the primer.
take the mag out, and its the same thing; put an empty mag in, and drop a round into the chamber, and it works like its suppose too, with reloads, and factory;
when this project began, I trimmed the brass just a hair, then bumped the shoulder back, that didn't seem to change anything;
is it un ethical to shine it up real fine, then take it to the gun show and sell it for 225$
I value everybody's opinion, and I sure do thank all of you;
