I continue to have problems. It is definitely an 8mm. It fires the Yugo 55 ammo well. Won't cycle the 56 or the 90s Yugo stuff. I tried single fire with commercial ammo. Case sticks in chamber. I believe the Turk ammo is to hot for it (?) so I haven't tried it yet. It has been to the gunsmith who cleaned the chamber thoroughly. Said there was no problem. I replaced the gas sleeve adjuster but that is not the problem. It throws the shells up to 15 feet when using the Yugo 11-55 on strippers. Seems to be the only ammo it likes. Everything else gets stuck in the chamber. Single or semi-auto. It is very frustrating. I have 3 other rifles in 8MM, 12 total including 3 other semi-autos. I'm not an idiot but I am at my wits end with this. Oh and the front hand guard flies off with first shot. I love the gun when it shoots well.
