The great thing about these rifles is they handle a kaboom very well, only casualty seems to be the mag.
After reading that someone else (Caramel maybe ?) was getting an "adjustable buffer", I realized I already had it.
I removed 3 washers (~5mm) and it allows the bolt to "lock open" with the charging handle inserted into the large round hole in the cut-out.
And it wont allow the handle to come back enough to hit the end of the slot, the buffer bottoms out in the tube...
With the upgrade the Thureon 10mm is better than ever, got 60 hot reloads ( blue dot and 180XTP make a world of difference in power, have yet to Oehler them but i'd bet they break the 1700 fps ) tru it and it work like a charm and barely make expansion on my cases... JP.
Well finally got the buffer, still waiting for the bolt. Don't really see a lot of improvement here. Measured spring compression is actually less - because the spring rides on a much more forward position on the buffer, and the new buffer is only 9.75 ounces vs. the original @ 10.5 ounces.
Called Thureon yesterday & spoke with Keith.
At the end of the conversation, he took my address & said he'd mail me a new bolt carrier & firing pin.
What more could a guy ask for...! Awesome customer service !!!
More than a month later, still no replacement bolt-carrier/firing-pin.

Have you tried contacting them since?

I've been waiting two months for a bolt!
I just called yesterday, left a message. Keith called me back today...
An employee who handles (whatever) @ Thureon had an accident that required hospitalization.
He's been off for the last 3-4 weeks, and they've been playing catch-up with orders.
Keith promised to personally mail my items tomorrow. Hopefully I'll see them within 2-3 weeks.
I also hope the injured employee makes a full (& speedy, LoL) recovery...!
UPDATE in regards to my issue...
Recieved my bolt/firing-pin ~ 2 weeks ago now, finally got a chance to run a couple boxes thru the carbine.
I noticed that the new bolt has a "spring-loaded" firing-pin now, which functioned flawlessly today.
The only issue I had with the gun was 1 stovepipe, while I had the gun canted 45* with the ejection-port facing strait-up.
Other than that, it seems much more reliable now... Checked the firing-pin when I got home, still mint.
I chewed the center out of a couple targets @ TSE today, 1 round outside the black (100 fired). Used a sled though...
* also met Norinco2009 today, great guy !
