OK, so heres my problem. I just got a hi cap WASR. The problem is, it wont cycle properly. When I charge the first round, it feeds just great, but upon firing that first round, the bolt ejects the case (correctly) and wont come back far enough to chamber the next round. The bolt comes back almost far enough but it stop about a 1/4" too short. Whats wrong with it? I have totally cleaned it, including the gas hole. I have de-burred the rails and soaked everything down in Break-Free. I have tried 2 different mags and every other trick I can think of. It just wont quite cycle far enough to chamber that next round...Grrr.... Anyone know whats wrong??? Please??? EDIT: I have put about 250 rounds through this rifle (manually), so it should have no break in period left. Sometimes the bolt will close, other times it will stay open about halfway back. Sometimes it will cock the hammer, other times it wont. I think it is gas related, but I dont know how. I have tried Wolf and Golden Tiger ammo. This short stroking is driving me nuts. Main spring too stiff/long? Maybe?
