Hi,
I'm having a problem getting rounds to feed into my Ruger M77 Tang Safety. As the bolt starts pushing a round out of the magazine, the round moves forward, but never goes under the extractor. The round either just pops up out of the magazine or gets pushed into the chamber in front of the extractor, and the bolt won't close.
In the first picture below, the bolt is rotated into the position it would be as it begins to push the round. Note that the round would have to jump the rim of the bolt to get onto the face of the bolt.
In the second picture, the bolt is in the position it would be when the round is in the chamber and the bolt has been rotate down. If this were the orientation the bolt was in when it's pushing the ound forward, the round would slip right up into the bolt face and go under the extractor.
Is the bolt assembled or installed wrong, or am I crazy? No, wait, I AM crazy. What about the bolt?
Thanks for your help,
Mike
