[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1674440, member: 9308"] You are late to the 'party' and didn't read the three pages of 'attendance instructions', so I'll catch you up. EMPTY CHAMBER (no ammo tried) He tried to cycle the action when he got the gun and inserted the bolt, but the bolt stopped 1" (about) from going into battery. Checked for an action screw going in too far...nope, not that. No scope mounted, so not a scope base screw stopping the bolt. Waiting to hear back from the OP, but most logical explanation is the bolt was shipped with the striker in the rested (uncocked) position. And no one noticed or thought to check that. But once he cocks the striker, the bolt will go into battery and lock-up, as designed, and all will be right with the world again. [/QUOTE]
