I feel like i might just be a reject.. So help me understand if its a design problem or if im just lacking.

With the bolt locked back i cant seem to sit a new clip in the stripper guide. It feels like i need to pull the bolt back just a bit then insert the stripper..

Then it locks up tight and i can do the needfull.

Am i just being a bitch and need to slam that home, is that a thing or am i just a retard?

I just tried duplicating this issue and failed. Then a light bulb came on where at least 10 years ago this happened to a friend's-we discovered it to be lack of lubrication. So I just stripped mine and cleaned out the oil... low and behold the bolt doesn't go back fully on the last round hold open, so you have to manually pull back. In this position the stripper clip just contacts the extractor. I took one photo of it stuck back:

May not be your exact issue but it's all I could come up with.

that feels right. I mean there is a slight bevel on the extractor so i could muscle it through to push it back and maybe that is the natural order of things... But felt wrong to push that thing this hard.

You know.. When i just jacked it back and let it go like a normal semi auto i had this issue. But after your suggestion, i pulled it back, held it for a second then let it go and it did not happen.. So yea feel like a slow surface not properly lubed.. Thanks man!!!
