I had been firing it quite a bit and the receiver got hot. An empty shell "glued" itself in place requiring a dead blow hammer on the bolt handle to get it open. Luckily it was a steel case and the base did not tear off requiring the broken shell extractor tool (which I have). I did some testing after that incident with some Hungarian zinc plated steel and some PPU brass rounds. I purposely heated the receiver with rapid fire and left an empty shell of each in the chamber for two minutes. Both extracted easily as normal. I won't even buy the lacquer coated ammo and don't have any in my stock.Glypto Dropemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567172318032611333noreply@blogger.com
