well i was nervous to try it since weve been talking but i want to shoot it tomorrow. I just hope the op rod doesnt jump track again. Cutting the spring loosened it up a bit and it cycles rounds and all much smoother, so im hopeful. (even if it wasnt the right thing to do) I just noticed the lowerband is missing its roll pin. the prevous owner replaced the hand stock himself... looks kinda crooked- Eric

The operating rod might be dragging on the lower band. A 1/8" diameter, 1/2" long roll pin from the local hardware store will fix the lower band in place.
