I will some other time.I dont want to start a fight right now.Anyways we fixed the problem at camp.Some screws had loostened,I guess from recoil and the action stuck and would not open.It stuck when I had it in my room and was wiping it with an oily cloth as it was really humid.

I thought I remembered someone mentioning once it looked like the screws on your gun were not clocked to 12 and 6 or 3 and 9. Perhaps they were loose for a while.

How many rounds do you think you have shot through that gun since you bought it?
