Shotgun Scrapped
- Thread starter Okinawa
- Start date
I have a similar model that I asked for Instructions for I taking down the bolt. Trimark viper g2 was the shotgun variant similar to my model. Essentially take down the gun and instead of just pulling the pin on the bolt push the slide down on the tube taking the pressure off the plot and that pin will pull right out easy. Clean in detail and perhaps it will help.
Can you push the handle forward with your thumb? Looks like what my CZ912 (Turkish also) was doing. Actually the bolt in yours looks just mine. The action spring was worn out/compressed and didn't have enough power to drive the bolt carrier fully forward. New spring fixed it right up good as new.
Well - Rather than just guess, you or someone has to dis-assemble the action (ie remove bolt and bolt carrier) to see what is going on.... Its not clear in your previous post what degree of dis-assembly you did, and whether or not the problem occurred before of after you took it apart. I'm betting you did something incorrect in the assy process.

With the low round count I'd be surprised if it was a spring issue. Especially of you can't push forward on the charging handle. Maybe look at the gas piston end of things to see if it maybe is binding and not going fully back into the barrel extension.
OK - I don't own any Turkish guns, so here goes. Several pre-requisites are needed for the bolt handle to go "home".
1) The bolt itself must be fully forward in the receiver/barrel. There are several reasons why that may not be happening, such as defective extractor, binding gas tube/piston assy, etc.
2) When the bolt is home, the locking lug (seen pressing into your thumb) swings upward into the barrel recess. This function is controlled or assisted by the bolt handle. Again, if something interferes with the seating of the lug...
You made an earlier statement about the hammer dropping prematurely? On most guns, the hammer should not drop until the bolt is about 1/8 in from home. The little nub on the top of the bolt handle must engage something in the bolt - are you sure you are getting that right?
PS - Looking at one of your pics with bolt in the receiver, the bolt appears to be sloping downward at the front? Maybe its just the lighting ...
