And I started looking for something to take apart.
And it's all, I don't know how they put it together.
I can't figure out how they got it together.
But I was looking at it.
I'm like, well, damn, it looks like the bolt catch is bent into the frame, into the receiver.
So everybody's best 22 friend on the Discord, rootguru3406, he printed me up a buffer tube block from a vice.
So I took the stock off, stood it up, and I put an empty mag in it to push it out towards me.
I just took a punch, a big nylon punch, like a quarter-inch punch, and beat on it for a couple seconds.
No, no, it was binding.
The bolt, when the mag would go empty and the bolt would lock back, like as the bolt's returning and the bolt lock is up, it was coming in with so much force it was bending it forward, tapping it forward against the receiver.
Oh, okay, so it needs to be a little thicker.
Yeah.
It's working great now.
At the moment, we're going to find out tomorrow night.
I'm going to bring it back and run it.
And then Sunday, I'm going to shoot the 22 match, the Rimfire Steel Challenge.
I'm looking forward to that.
And then on my topic for the night for Rimfire, I finally got to shoot the Ruger Precision Rifle 17 HMR that my brother won on the Facebook raffle like four weeks ago.
He ended up winning, I think I mentioned this too, he ended up winning like a Smith & Wesson AR pistol, seven and a half inch, like four days later.
So the guy just held off and shipped both guns at once.
