I've never had that problem and I've put into the thousands of round thru mine with the Scope cover and the original. You might try filing the tips down a little they may not be allowing a proper fit.

i filed it a little and oiled it better. it still got stuck today but not as bad just bumped it and it shut last time i had to beat on it to close the bolt. should be able to see where its sticking at i marked the rough spots with a sharpies so if i have a bare spot thats where ill be filing. thanks

i forgot to add a range report 6in group at 50 yards not bad because i just cut the barrel about 1inch to remove the threads the rounds were hitting the muzzlebrake the rifling is real bad and it was not counter-bored so i counter-bored it 1in and re-crowned it to 11 degrees. took me 3 weeks i didnt want to do it twice. did it with hand tools would take it and pay someone $75 if i ever had to do it again. it was a good feeling when i saw the results.

6 inches is what it should be getting at 100 yards...

I'm assuming it's a Yugo? My Factory 25 Chi-Com would put a full 10 rd mag in 3" as fast as I could resight and squeeze the trigger.

Glad to help, keep us posted on how it comes. Hope you can get your groups a little tighter, but at least it's a blast to shoot.
