first carbine unboxing

It should be at least 1.5 inches.

all three are between 1.500 - 1.505, and the nibs are nice, square on the bottom, and pronounced.

Here's what I did to resolve the FTF. Maybe it will help.

interesting. I thought my failure to feed's were from the nose of the round wedging in the chamber. I could be wrong. Yours looks like the bolt slips off the back of the round after pushing it partway. I need to see if I can manually reproduce the problem - will either remove the firing pin or disassemble some rounds and make dummies.
