    I am trying this, hopefully I can get it out, the pin head actually looks like it is bent and half of it is melded to the bolt face.

    223 just wasn't meant for this rifle, there's just something wrong about that... and the rifle knows it. stick to 762 and be jolly.

    All I'm saying is, it's not right. 223 should never had been an option for an eastern block firearm. 556 is for the AR, Tavor, etc...

    Everyone knows that 762x39 is better than 556 right? (ok get out your popcorn everyone - and remember to feed the troll)

    as soon as a rifle is picky on ammo, it's time to toss that thing right in the trash.

    the firing pin is the problem, its too weak.

    had the same result with MFS ammo, strike the primer but no boom.
