Hey guys. I just got my CanAm M14 Shorty. My first rifle! I have put about 40 rounds through it...and I really need to work on my accuracy/get used to those iron sights. I know I have read these things before but I am sick as a dog and have nothing better to do so I have a couple questions:
1.The op rod is not supposed to be loose right? If I pull up on the charging handle 9when the action is closed) part of it it moves like... substaintial. Almost like it is going to come out!
2. Whats up with the bolt release? What is it purpose? I know to release the bolt but when...after mag changes? Once when I changed the mag right when I pulled the empty one out the bolt slammed shut...I need some knowledge handed down to me
3. The safety is the thing on my trigger guard right? I used it once and it has never worked since. It seems jammed or something
4. What other things should I look for...I am going back to school tomorrow but when I am home next I wanna maybe adventure and take it apart
5. Did I get a dud?
Thanks for reading...I have alot to learn about guns
