M2 Help

[ExceptionallyAverage]

Hello all,

So I purchased a used M2. It already had a number of mods done on it. I put a TTI lifter on it. I did some cosmetic work on it. I assembled it tonight. First I put the hammer spring on backward and it took me a half hour to identify why I couldn't insert the bolt. Now I can't get the bolt to close completely. It appears it's contacting the barrel. Anybody have any advice?

Are you letting it close on its own power?

Yes. Pull it all the way back and let it fly.

Check to see if you got it in 180 degree's off when you put it in carrier.

I will do that. But I'm pretty sure I had the "notch" at the 10oclock position. Pretty sure isn't good enough I know.

Anything new to report?

Yes Burk, that I'm an idiot. 15 years of exclusively shooting an over under made me too stupid to remember how an auto loader operates. I was convinced that it was out of battery but after a shotgun buddy of mine looked at it he said "um no, that's how it is supposed to look". I took it out and it ran just fine.

I was really hoping no one would ask for a follow up cause I REALLY didn't want to admit that.

We have done worse.

My story is about a chain saw. I was cutting trees all day and about an hour before I would have been done, WON'T START. i was hot and tired and the chain saw repair place was about a mile away So I run down there pissed off/hot/tired and ask them to look at it for me.





CHAIN BREAK WAS ON!
