finally had time to put the new heavey barrel on my XCR an the bolt won't close....
bolt carrier stays open 3/8" bolt it self starts into barrel lugs but wont cam into lock position.
were do I go from here??? what is the fix?
already tried slaming the action home on emty chamber well try with live round next might be a alignment problem? anyone else have this happen to thereS??????

Call Terra in the AM, don't slam anything.

 

[aziator]

Yeah, I would not want to slam anything. Not really sure what else to tell you as there is only one way to get a barrel in there where everything lines up and you can tighten the retaining screw.

Sounds like the lugs arent lining up. Chamber might be out of spec. Contact Terra for sure. She'll take care of it. Robinson is turning their own barrels now, so they will want to know sooner rather than later if something is off

Are you using reloads?

They are doing this *now*, or they just have plans to do it? I thought that was still just a long term plan sort of deal.

We are currently turning our own barrels.

got ahold of Terra,took care of problem. chang to new stial gas piston with new barrel an orderd
new gas block for old barrel. should be up an run'n shortly

 

[TerraShrewsbury]

To clarify for all you guys -

Jim had bough an extra barrel. When he tried to install it, nothing would meet up right. We figured out he needed the new piston installed, since his original barrel has an old gas system on it, and the old piston on his op rod was not compatible with the new gas system on his new barrel.

Problem solved.

Thanks for the clarification!

Ah, that is good to know. Assuming it should make for a more steady barrel supply and possibly more variety in the future.
