Post some pics of the bullet guide and your bolt. On some bolts there needs to be a small chamfer on the bolt where it meets the guide to cause rotation. Some bolts don't have this. Also how the bullet guide is installed could have a lot to do with it.

Here is a photo of the bullet guide, the one that came in the kit has more space between the flat part and the "ramp".

I would probably remove it and try it with the guide that came with your kit. Sucks that you have to remove a factory installed guide, since I think they're a PITA to install and have look good, but it's not impossible. |

Yeah, this receiver has never been used so it makes sense that the bullet guide was never fit to a bolt. I will try the bullet guide from my kit. Thanks  |

Thanks Before you go drilling it out I would at least exhaust all other attempts at making it work as is. Just don't damage anything. |

I plan on doing just that, I am going to make very sure I do not do any damage. |
