Hi guys!
Six months ago, I bought a C308. I was planning to shoot it for the first time soon, so I figured I would check the bolt gap. The bolt gap on this gun was 0.7mm. The safe operating range of the bolt gap is between 0.25mm and 0.5mm.
I just sent CAI an email about it asking them to "make it right". Do you think I will have any luck? Or am I better of fixing it myself?

No offense meant, but you should have checked the bolt gap and test fired the rifle. When you first bought it. Doubtful that they, will do anything for you now.
After test firing it, if it doesn't work. Just get rid of it. Even if you have to take a monetary loss. Don't aggravate yourself. Over CA and their crap guns.
We just had a thread close, regarding Century Arms. And their U.S. made HK 91 clones.

Do you know what happens if your bolt gap is too large and you test fire it? What is the most common malfunction?

To me it seems that the two most common malfunctions would be either a failure to fire, or it may fire without locking in the bolt. The former is no problem, the latter sounds potentially dangerous. However, from how hard it is to charge the weapon it seems to be locking to me.
