Most all AK's will allow the bolt to "hang" open if you ease the bolt forward slowly.
All that is is the bolt carrier getting hung up on the hammer which is pressing up on it.
As the rifle breaks in this will reduce but it'll still hang up if you ease the bolt forward.
As above, field strip the rifle and clean it thoroughly, then lubricate it. A thin coat of grease often makes a firearm operate smoother.
Apply a THIN coat of grease to:
The bolt locking lugs and bolt body, especially the "tail" of the bolt.
The cam area on the underside of the bolt carrier.
The grooves in the bold carrier.
The rails in the receiver.
The front face of the hammer.
Anywhere else you see wear in the finish, which indicates a friction point.
If the jamming persists, return it to the importer or where you bought it.
