I recently purchased one of these, and I am having an insertion and an ejection problem with it. While cleaning it the other day, I discovered that the block that guides the stripped round from the magazine into the chamber is not secured in place. Should this piece be glued in? It seems like the rounds that are stripped from the left stack are not feeding correctly. They usually wind up with the nose of the round hitting the top of the chamber entrance, and jamming there. Upon ejection, the spent shells, around half of them, are not ejecting completely. They are getting caught buy the bolt after it strips the next round from the magazine. The result is that I have an empty cartridge stuck in front of the bolt, and a live round jammed under the empty, behind the block that guides the stripped round into the chamber. Any one out there have this problem before? How can I fix it? Should I just take it to a gunsmith?
Thanks,

I would close the right and open the left you don't have to move it very much.you can use pliers but you may have to file marks down unless you pad the pliers
