coldbeer, please tell me how I can "break in" a carbine that will not actually load and fire? Well, the hammer flies forward and it strikes the back of the bolt, not the firing pin. Which is good since the cartridge is not fully in the chamber and the bolt is not fully locked.

Hissy fit, indeed!

And before you bother to ask, all the sliding parts have been nicely oiled whenever I take it to the range. And I tried multiple magazines of the 15-round size, not all from AO. Some from Uncle Sam.
