    Only one bolt works, or neither bolt worked?

    Sounds like a gas system issue if neither bolt work, and the bolt doesn't cycle back at all.

    I think he meant when he replaced the bolt, the rifle worked fine and it was with the first (original) bolt that he was having issues with.

    If that is correct, then there is a gas issue with your first bolt. Is the key properly staked or have damage?

    Gas rings maybe?

    How old is the bolt?

    Switched the bolt only or the entire BCG?

    Massive gas leak.
    How many rounds through the rifle?
