[QUOTE="1mathom1, post: 2713063, member: 11736"] Nice collection! I have an 87a like your 49. Always was an accurate rifle but as long as I can remember, the only way to use it was to push the bolt knob in and keep it from firing in semi-auto....basically turning it into a straight pull bolt gun. It would jam EVERY time someone tried to fire it in semi-auto. It would throw the empty out but the cartridge lifter comes up with such force it bends the fresh cartridge in the middle....to about a 45 degree bend. Operate it manually and it works fine. So...it has become a rifle just to look at. Do you suppose it could be a very weak bolt spring allowing the bolt to fly back faster than it should? [/QUOTE]
