recent acquisition 241 shorts only
I did a test on it 10 rounds, feed, eject, load.. OK
strange though, the bolt after the last round does not close, seems to be hitting the feed plunger on the magazine tube.
IF I loosen the feed tube and pull it rearward, the bolt will then close.
in a way a good thing, with last round hold open, but i do not believe it is the standard operation of the rifle.
the cartridge stop plunger, spring, etc are intact and the plunger does extend into the channel.
I believe this has occurred for some time, by the witness marks on the magazine plunger tip.
Leave it be or ??
thanks in advance.
