lol, all good points grumpy.
The gun IS assembled correctly. I have a feeling it was a combination of sorts.
Noveske is known for a tight chamber, so add 200rds worth of gunk and a weak recoil spring and theres my problem. I bet the fact that it ran once I seated the round is because it was actually over gassed and the buffer was rebounding and slamming back onto the bolt which aided in stripping the next round off and chambering it fully.
I had a hunch what the problem was, I just wanted some ideas on a more powerful buffer spring that others had used. I posted this and 5min later did a google search and found springco...lol.
So hopefully that fixes it.
