my dummy rounds(9,3x62) are being picked up just fine by the claw but the problem this rifle has is that it is not being fed concentric. I have noted that the foward rail area on both sides have this unique "pinch" of steel inwards and this seems to be the culprit.

Now if I may, I tend to lean toward the "practice" of caution and with due care can alleviate the metals for right and left hand feeding on rails.

I can live with this as feeding is being done but with abit more noticing of chambering due to bullet tips encountering the walls of the chamber or throat.

Would like to here from the experienced here on this matter.

appreciate it.

fast note, put a "fine" diamond stone to work a tad bit on the areas and now feeds slicker than cat ......homework done.
