So I got my bolt catch fixed (thanks wolverine Brent in specific you guys really know how to hold onto customers!!), however I purchased some reloadable 7.62X39 at a local gun show, first 4 rounds function perfectly, on the 5th and final round tho, the entire bolt assembly, (bolt, bolt carrier and piston), all lock to the rear as is expected however on closer inspection the bolt is so far to the rear it seems jammed and is impossible to bring forward. Its not held in by the bolt catch pin and the spring is compressed to maximum making it a difficult procedure to crack the rifle, take my cleaning rod and hammer the piston forward which also pulls the bolt. On closer inspection it doesnt look as tho the bolt is rotating? Moreover it only happened with the brass ammo from the gun show. After re-oiling the rifle to dripping, and shooting surplus it seemed to work fine? I also should mention when the bolt is jammed to the rear it CANNOT be engaged and brought forward by the charging handle which moves freely. My rifle seems to function and cycle well on gas setting 2. My question is, was it the gun that needs to be sent back, the weird ammo I picked up, or myself for thinken it was suffieceintly oiled and it was not? Has anyone else experienced this issue? Opinions please! I also would like to aviod sending away my new rifle.
