You say you're running reloads in it. Have you tried closing the bolt on a factory 7.65 round for comparison sake just to eliminate the possibility of ammo causing your stiff bolt?

This is my preferred 6.5 Swede load as well.

Is it the photo or do they not fit the frame contour correclty?

Loaded up 200 rounds of 44-40.

I picked this Trooper up last year for just under $800. Came with the factory box, which had seen far better days, but I think I was the first person to ever fire it. 1976 according to Colt. I wouldn't be scared of picking it up if you're comfortable with the price and want it. Mine shoots...

I preordered one. His books are treasure troves of information and great reference material.

Sounds like you got a screaming deal and came out with the best option for a PDW. I'm jealous, that's a fine looking set up.

I tried moonclips and ditched them fast. I scrounged up 45 Auto Rim brass and enjoy enjoy the loading/unloading process more for shooting in the backyard. If that was my service weapon, though, I would quickly see the value in moon and halfmoon clips.

I have a MSAR flat top that I bought about 10 years ago off someone who worked at Wolff Springs. The rifle has been 100% reliable, but I believe he said he installed all their kits into it. For well less than $1,000 I got the rifle and about 20 AUG mags for it. It's fun, it's different, I...

Looks like it's supposed to!

If a dealer said that to me I would likely never return.

Dollar spent to optic gained, the ACO is the way to go. My personal opinion is the things you gain with the PRO are nice to haves but not need to haves. I would argue the OP should dip his toes into the red dot world with the exceptionally affordable ACO, which he may never need to upgrade...

From the website: PRO: 2 MOA dot size 30,000 hours (over 3 years) of constant operation 4 night vision compatible settings and 6 daylight settings Weight 7.8 oz / 220 g (sight only) Submersible to 150 feet (45 meters) Front lens opening is threaded for addition of killFlash® anti-reflective...

https://aimpoint.us/aimpoint-carbine-optic-aco-red-dot-reflex-sight-with-mount-2-moa-200174/ This is a pretty darn affordable option for a real Aimpoint. Granted $350 is a lot of money, but this is arguably better than any Sig Romeo or Holosun. Caveat, I have a couple Sig Romeos as filler...

If he gets a cheap specimen that doesn't hold zero he may not fully get to understand how they work either.
