Thread: Norinco EM332 — help please

Had a similar problem on the Annie 1410 - after replacing the barrel/action into the stock.
The rear screw protruded into the bolt raceway and stopped the bolt being opened properly.
On a hunch, removed the rear screw, bolt cycled fine.
A quick 'touch up' on the grinder - no problems since.
Checked the Anshutz site for screw lengths, both the same.
Guess the timber (it's 40+ years old and still puts 5 almost in the same hole, from a clamped rest), had softened a little and pulled the action in closer, so the rear screw jammed the bolt when opening, IIRC - the bolt was a little hard to get in but went in OK.
Thought it was my rushed fitting of bolt and having some misalignment issues.
Just a thought mate.
