I have been putting it together from you tube videos and old guns and ammo articles. The cartridge seems to slide in the barrel with no issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tropicalmulch Report post Posted June 27 If headspace hasn’t been checked, you’ll definitely want to do that before firing. But if the round goes deeper into the chamber without the bolt, maybe the extractor is a little tight on the rim and the round is binding at an angle? Will it go if you remove the extractor?
