It feels like I pull the trigger and it's more like click boom anywhere from 1/10 of a second to a half a second delay.

I've cleaned the bolt (removed all parts including the firing pin) 5 or 6 times. I thought I might have had too much oil so I cleaned it and reassembled it dry and tried again. It still had the delay. I took it apart and cleaned it this time using a small amount of oil. Fired it and still had the delay.

I think it's the ammo. I dry fire it and I don't hear any delay at all. It sounds crisp and quick. I will try shooting the same factory ammo I was at first successful with tomorrow and see what it does. I'll let you all know what I find.
