Thureon 45 won't cycle

[slowpoke55]

I picked up a TD in 45 acp off the EE a long time ago. The action is so stiff it will not even cycle manually .
I am looking of a gun smith around Vancouver that would be interested in having a look at it.
( I already talked to Dlask ) TD shipped me a new bolt , It did nothing to fix the problem.
Any ideas would be welcome .

Did it cycle when you first got it? I assume you've lubed and cleaned it?

Can the bolt come out easily? did the receiver get squished in shipping or something?

Otherwise if the bolt moves freely in the receiver, it might be the trigger group is bunged and it's not letting the bolt cycle the hammer when it tries to move back.

I believe it is a blowback action . How strong are you? My Girlfriend could not pull the bolt back on my Sub 2000.

check out my thureon 45 for sale on the EE right now. I mucked it up and was having same issues until I solved it. explanation is in post and photos. maybe it will help. It's such a simple design there really could be only a few things causing this issue. Look for wear marks on the receiver and bolt where things might be rubbing.
