Sorry for my rant. LOL.
It has a little switch on the right side by the rear sight that is
what I believe is the bolt hold open switch. the bolt looks as if it
needs to be cleaned which would explain the failure to fire on the 2
of the 5 rounds I fired through it this morning. I payed $300 for it,
which I didnt think was too bad. I guess that I should have done my
homework before I started making payments on it, But I think what I
need to do is to try to figure out how to get the slide and bolt
assembly out and clean the heck out of it. The rifling looks good and
strong after further inspection. Any tips on cleaning the bolt and
making it run better? Sorry for my long post!
Thanks,
Craig
