calling all gunsmiths (Thanks Bob)

Re: calling all gunsmiths (Thanks Bob)

I have that issue under control but it is still jaming to often. When it jams it looks like the shells are not being lifted high enough for the bolt grab them. I think I will try some different ammo brands and see what happens before taking it to a shop.

Look at the bolt face that catches the shell. Is it worn? I have rebuilt that edge on an old gun once by CAREFULLY putting a Tiny spot of weld and reshaped the face. BE REAL CAREFULL or you will melt away the entire face. It can be done if needed.<br /><br />OR<br /><br />Can the feeder be built up? Most were pot metal then later they moved to plastics.<br /><br />Glad you like the manual!
