So, put together the 7.62x39 pistol that I posted in the pistol thread and did some test firing- no bueno!
First 4 rounds or so of steel case ammo fired and ended up with the bolt locked up. After some light, strategic taps it came loose.
Thought maybe it was lacquer induced from the Wolf ammo, cleaned it up good and put away until later.
Second attempt, 3 rounds of yugo brass cased- now, it hasn't properly cycled yet and with the brass ammo it didn't either- but I was able to cycle the bolt and eject the brass. One more round of steel- locked up tighter than a tick.
This time I'm looking to see if I can tell if the bolt itself isn't rotating/unlocking. Can't really see. Bolt seems fine, even the lugs.
This time after cleaning, I took some pictures because I can zoom them to better see what might be happening.
W/o much more ado, see the pictures and tell me if I need to polish the chamber-
BCA barrel that I bought through Classic, as it was pretty much only one available at the time.
Faxon bolt in a Anderson bolt carrier.
Thoughts?
