T-38 bolt

[psteinmayer]

I'm with Dean... Make certain that it's a T-38 bolt. Also, if the safety is in the on position and the bolt is un-cocked when inserting the bolt, you could park a truck on it and never get it closed!

This is a gun I bought last week.Bolt would cycle with force[could feel some binding]cleaned all,I suspect the ejector will know more when I GET STOCK OFF[fun].

OK,found the problem,everything works good until I reinstall the ejector.Pulled the ejector it had a small bur on it,stoned it seems to work better.

"it seems to work better."
As in, now the bolt travels freely?
Good detective work!

I've found that one can't always take a bolt from one type 38 rifle and put it in another. Guess they weren't up to interchangeability of parts like the US. Haven't found a Krag bolt I couldn't put in a different receiver yet.

"Guess they weren't up to interchangeability of parts like the US. "
That's why other countries stamped an assembly number or serial number on all the parts, because they were hand-fitted.
We used drawing numbers to denote the design of a particular part. But they were, for the most part, interchangeable.

All numbers match,it's a carbine.I'll find how it shoots some time this week.

"All numbers match,it's a carbine."
