[QUOTE="dv808, post: 1520942, member: 106642"] My cousin also uses a Grendel AR for hunting and needs to drop the bolt to get the rbolt all the way into battery. Every time he tries to load a round into the chamber, he'd drop the bolt and I'm sure whatever game in in the area at the time start to scatter. Whenever he tries to "quietly" feed a round, he needs to use quite a bit of force to manipulate the forward-assist and get the round fully into battery. It is possible but quite difficult to pound your palm on the assist. What we found in his instance was that the extractor was really stiff and needed quite a bit of force to get over the lip of the brass. We found this out when I bought him a set of go/no go gauges. He built his AR himself and never checked the chamber when he was done. When we removed the extractor to test his chamber, the bolt would go all the way into battery. We think it's due to the fact the gun is still relatively new and hasn't really been broken in yet. I told him to buy some dummy rounds and practice dropping the bolt a few minutes every night and see if things loosen up. I forget what brand of bolt he's using. It's actually his second bolt. I remember that when he first shot the gun, the bolt kept getting stuck in battery. He had to bang the butt against the ground while pulling back on the handle. After his second or third shot, the gas tube sheared off the top of the bolt when he tried to pull back the stuck bolt. I finally got him to buy his first bolt action rifle. [/QUOTE]
