New to me 552 (c1982). I have thoroughly cleaned and lubed this rifle, but it still will not feed, If I load up the magazine and pull the charging handle, on the forward stroke it picks up the first round but stops about three quarters of the way to full battery. The charging handle can not be forced forward to close.
If I hand load a single round the bolt goes full closed and the rifle will fire. If I load a single round put the safety on and load the magazine (not my idea of safe) the rifle will fire, and load and fire the rest of the magazine .
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Tom
