Hopefully in a day or so I have time to take it out and see if I can solve the sticking primers. If not I may take the Knight approach and just put a RPJ breech plug and bolt in it . Bare primer is much preferred if possible but I don't want to go the tungsten bushing route so hopefully a shim will work

I had to do some work on mine also - sticking primers. It turned out to be a problem with the bolt face. If you still get sticking even after setting your head space - try another bolt one that you know works - even a primer adapter setup.


My problem the space between rails was to narrow and the was a burr in the rails where the primer slides in.


Suggest you go to a bolt and primer adapter and see if that helps the problem.
