My Yugo is having trouble cycling. We have looked it over and really don't think it's a gas problem. The port is clear and the gas cutoff is in the right position and the gas piston and rod are fine and not corroded and slide smoothly in the gas tube.
When a round is fired the bolt moves back about an inch and the shell is not ejected,
I cannot manually eject the shell. The bolt is hanging up on something it feels like.
I have to pull and pull, sometimes for minutes, and I can feel a definite stop and then finally it will come back. I don't think it's the shell hanging up because it feels more like something in the bolt or firing pin block catching on something. Anyone ever have this problem? This happens every single shot.
When the gun is empty, you can work the bolt back and forth all day long and it's silky smooth.
Thanks for any help!
