[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2793667, member: 34578"] While it has been several months since I finished this I only recently got a chance to go to the range and test it. And.. it didn't work!?!?!? It wasn't feeding from the magazine. The rounds kept jamming in the lifter. Every round would jam not just a few here and there. Eventually I had a round jam so bad I couldn't get it out. So went back home fully disappointed. I decided the only way to un-jam it was to disassemble the lifter. I started to loosen the first screw that held the lifter in place and "CLICK", it suddenly fed. I tightened the screw back down with the lifter in it's new "self-set" position. It now fully cycles by hand without a single issue. I have hand cycled it over 100 times now and not a single failure to feed. Hoping when I get it back to the range it will work as well as it does now by hand. I think that I must have bound the lifter when I reassembled the rifle and then with the round in the lifter it forced it into alignment when I loosened the screw and allowed it to move a little.
