    Buddy has one of these. He asked me to come look at it because it will fire one round, eject, but that’s it. Not picking up a second round/chambering it. (He’s using wolf 7.62x39 ammo). His castle nut was loose and I was able to get that sorted out, but don’t think that would cause said issues.

    I’ve got a few ideas to play with, mainly starting at the magazine and possibly the BCG/feed ramps, then working from there?
     
    Try firing a single mag feed and loaded round first... will it lock back on that ?

    Then try different ammo , a different mag.

    How many rounds through it ? ... does it need a little more break in ?

    Plenty of lube ?
