I put a .308 together and can not figure out why this issue. It will pull off the first, and perhaps the second cartridge, go into battery and fire. Then the next cartridge will not go fully into battery. I have a .308 that functions and I'm comparing it to this build. It seems there are several differences that I do not understand. The gas tube lengths are different. There are no burrs, dents or problems with the tube. The bolt from the working .308 will jam in the new, or green build. The bolt from the new build works fine in the silver or working model. There is a "slot" that is different in length between the two. That's the cleaning rod with the black marker. I'm getting all sorts of advice that now makes it worse. I'm nowhere near a gunsmith. The closest guy says the buffer spring needs a rung or two taken off. The first two pics I'm trying to show the bolt going into battery and "camming" over. The "nick" on the green one is where the bolt from the working one is jamming.
[?] Thanks in advance.
