Troy 102 bolt catch and buffer spring.

[imalamoud]

Hello,

Got my 102 last week. Fine rifle but noticed 2 issues:

- sometimes feeding starts before a round completely ejected and jams.
I have read that a softer buffer string fixes it - what make/model would you recommend as a replacement?

- It is tricky to lock bolt manually and the manual lock does not hold well - can you recommend an upgrade?

I knew these things were gonna be junk. You shouldnt have to "fix" a brand new firearm. It should just work.

I would not say it is junk. Mostly works fine. Great at the sale price.

The sale price is what it should be selling for imo.

Do you have anything constructive to say or just like to go around ####ting on peoples parade for no reason?

Happens with specific ammo? Bolt catch seems to work pretty normally for me, but then again i'm used to working with super clapped out C7's.

Am I wrong?

I get more reliability out of a 1954 sks
