Not really...I just think Mike is using right handed boolits with a left handed bolt.

I had the same problem with nails at my South Carolina house. Damn carpenter was throwing every third nail over his shoulder, mumbling the head was on the wrong end of the nail. The guy is an idiot, I picked up every nail and used them on the other side of the house.

It's hard to find good help around here anymore.

I had a long gun like that once, it was disappointing especially when It was determined the problem was me. So, Mike it could be worse. Good luck. I still think it is a great looking super buy for the money if you can teach it to shoot.
