I shot maybe 20 rounds with my T97 FTU when a round failed to enter the chamber properly. After clearing that round, the bolt will no longer go all the way to the rear, it stops about half way back. I messed around with it for a bit, and the range officer didn't know what the issue could be either. Any ideas what is causing this jam?
 
Dry fire it. Seriously. ACTS & PROVE first, of course, then dry fire in a safe direction and see if you can pull the bolt back after.
 
Not entirely sure -- I had the same issue myself to be honest, but out of the box. So after trying everything I gave up and dry fired it. I would direct your question to the ongoing T97 thread in the Black & Green Rifles subforum above. You may also find out about how to prevent the fail-to-chamber that caused the jam (most solutions seem to involve filing the feeding path to make it smoother or shim the magazine with tape if it is loose enough in the magwell to move back and forth a bit).
