I recently bought this bolt 4 weeks ago and have troubled getting the bolt to seat properly in any rifles when a round is chambered. Without a round, it seats, but with a round in the chamber it does not seat correctly nor can fire (obviously). I have tried this is 4 different rifles, different mags, different ammo, different everything and this bolt does not work, but all other bolts do work. I disassembled the bolt and reassembled (basic level) and no luck. I am wondering if I am missing something or is this a bolt/headspacing issue.

Have you made sure there is nothing keeping the ejector from compressing correctly? If you press down on it you should feel resistance but it should compress into the bolt face. I've stripped it down and re-assembled. Out of the rifle the bolt looks normal, same specs and everything as other bolts. I can't figure it out. |

Take the O ring out and see if it will go into battery.
What gas system and barrel length do you have? ALWAYS keep a firearm pointed in a safe direction. If there are people in the other room, neighbors across the street, or anything beyond normal walls, that isn't a safe direction (just an FYI). |

Tried with some spare o-rings I had and no luck. All gas systems are DI, 3 16" and 1 18" barrel. 2 Andersons, 1 Colt, 1 BCM upper. |
