    Default Ciener .22 conversion 'tweaking'

    Ok - I searched and didn't find anything specifically relating to my trouble - so here goes:
    I recently received my long awaited Ciener .22 kit for my AR...
    and it doesn't work.
    It fits in the gun - but when you close it back up (put in the pin) it binds and it will not charge (the bolt only pulls back about 1/2 way and stops)
    Looks like it is not machined on the contact point where it meets the hammer?
    I'll try to get a picture up...
    Anyone else encounterd this problem before?
    I wonder if I should just send it back to Midway and if I do - what if I get another just like it?
    I have an opportunity to learn something here, I believe...

    Here is the pic - the red circle is the area that doesn't look machined and seems to bind.

    It only pulls about halfway back, by design. As long as the bolt face clears the back lip of the magazine, and cocks the hammer, it's going back far enough.

    Also most prefer Fed Bulk Pack .22lr

    Mine will now shoot the Remington Golden Bullets.

    Some have had to break in with CCI Mini Mags.

    Mine only ate Federal Bulk when I had it. Hated Minimags. I also had to clip a few coils from the spring to get it to stop double firing.
