svt 40 problems

[GunNewb]

We had some problems earlier this year with the svt 40 not ejecting shells properly. We adjust the gas (I think to 1.3? not sure) as recommended. Now it ejects and shoots fine but when the bolt comes in for the next round it can half-#### itself. I mean the bolt sits about a 1/8-1/4 inch from the receiver. All it takes is a little shove to make it seat properly but it freaks me out a bit that it doesnt seat entirely. What say yall- its my brothers and he didnt think to turn up the gas again, think thatll do it?

Turn it to 1.5 and see what happen. I'm pretty sure your rifle will function flawlessly. tokarev vary from one to the next, some need more gas to fuction properly
