I've gone through the instruction manual over and over but I can't get this thing assembled. I've cleaned all the thick goop from the parts with Break Free and oiled them appropriately. Following the directions I've removed the fore-end and dropped the bolt assembly in, then snapped the bolt handle in place. There is a fork-like piece that fits over the tubular magazine that looks like it's supposed to snap underneath the bolt face. When I pull the bolt handle back and push the cartridge release lever in, it locks in place like it should. However, once assembled the bolt assembly never closes the action. It gets stuck halfway there and refuses to move. It's locked up hard enough that I can only free it by knocking out the pin that holds the trigger assembly. Anyone else have trouble getting the I-12 together? :banghead:
Never had this kind of problem with my dad's old 1947 Remington Model 11.
