See the bootsmaguire Stuck BAS bolt assembly article on the home page, last picture.
12FV the BAS starts and screws in nicely with the cocking pin in the cocked position,. no thumb or corner or any moving it to cocked.
10 to get the BAS to start the cocking pin MUST be in the uncocked position, after starting the BAS it takes a LOT of force to move the cocking pin to cocked position, then the BAS screws in with a lot of pressure/feel.
Both bolts, in the uncocked position, both cocking pins revolve easily. The forward nut on the bolt assy is bottoming on the inside of the bolt.
My question: Is the bolt SUPPOSED to act as the 12FV, or as the 10?
Is the 10 wrong? If so, what do I need to fix it?
Thanks;
