New MN guy here

[Neal Myers]

I fired a friend's MN at the range, & had the same problem with the bolt. We finally found a piece of a 2 x 3, & used that to pound the bolt closed & to rotate it. We shot Russian milsurp ammo, & my guess was that some manager in a Russian ammo plant failed to properly adjust & test the machinery on the assembly line. (Or, was a peace advocate.)

I didn't really care. After 20-30 rounds, my shoulder hurt too much to continue firing it.

I know they have quite a following but I attribute that to their cost and cheaper ammo. I find them unshootable. A friend owns one we took out and while he tried to use a charger to load it he took the end skin off his thumb...that looked like it hurt. I shot a few and gave it back. He didn't go much further. I would have owned an SVT 40 though if we didn't have such foolish magazine restrictions here. The cartridge is potent enough.
