Re: trouble closing bolt on a round (detailed and long post)

thank you weldon. i absolutely put the horse before the cart. i acted upon this issue very prematurely with very little preparation. :( at this point it would be safer to just replace the entire bolt head w/extractor? it wouldn't be worth it to risk anything with the results of the dremel job on th...

Hello everyone. I will try to be as detailed as I can in my post. Recently I have been having trouble where the bolt will not close on a round unless I use really muscle/slap it. The bolt operates smooth and fine without any rounds though. This occurs regardless of a full magazine with 5 or 1 in the...
