Heavy bolt lift when theres no over pressure

Can you think of what would cause something like this to happen? I just f8nuahed building this rifle its only got about 300 rds through it and really don't want to have to start saving g for a new one. Lol
It’s ejection, not extraction, that’s giving you the dent. Fault common when it smacks the action after getting flipped out

X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

Mine flickered dark, light, dim, inside, outside, whatever. Unchanging light conditions with no change in ambient light. Not a big gripe I won't use the auto anyway but the focus knob was very very mushy with far too much play for me. Seriously couldn't believe it passed any QC at all. That said they are feature rich and impressed me in every other way. But, we all know the past history of Vectronix and service so I want everything A1 out of the box. Anyway, not here to bash Vectronix or the unit, I really like it. Just relaying my experience.
Just pointing out that you may need to accept that when in auto, also the focus knob seems to be about the same on every unit I've seen, which matches what you described.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

nope. it's obvious to almost everyone that ukrainian nazis forced putin to intervene or watch the slaughter of russian brothers and sisters.

2-15-22: The OSCE recorded 41 ceasefire violations as Ukrainian forces intensified shelling of Donbass.
2-16-22: 76 violations.
2-17-22: 316 violations—some of the heaviest artillery shelling in years. Civilians from the DPR and LPR began evacuating to Russia.
2-18-22: 654 violations.
2-19-22: 1,413 violations.
2-20/21-22: A staggering 2,026 violations!
2-21-22: Russia officially recognizes the DPR and LPR, pledging military assistance. The US and EU immediately condemn Russia, threatening sanctions—yet they ignore the Ukrainian shelling of civilians.
2-22-22: 1,484 violations.
•On the same day, the UK, US, and EU impose sanctions on Russia for recognizing the republics.
2-24-22: Russian troops enter Ukraine.

Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine’s army expanded from 145,000 to 360,000 troops. By late 2021, 125,000 Ukrainian forces had massed in the East, preparing to wipe out the DPR and LPR and push toward Russia’s borders.
I thought I explained to you before that Putin used Donbas region forces, with help from Russia, to conduct false flags there and attribute them to Ukraine as a pretext for the 2014 invasion.

Same as he did in Georgia, same as the Georgian apostate jew Stalin did in 1939 to Finland. What method did Stalin use with the false flag against Finland? Artillery shelling of a town on the Russian side of the border with Karelia. Had you been alive then, you would believe and run with the Russian propaganda too I suppose.

Why do you believe Russian propaganda?

Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

I don’t shoot for trophies. I shoot because I like to shoot and to better myself. I got an award at my first high power match for being the second best new guy. I was appreciative for the award and all but still I could have got nothing and been just as happy shooting.

AR10 bolt Rub

I’ve got a JP bolt and rings in my ar10 and it runs like a scalded dog. So does the JP bolt and rings in one of my 556/223 guns. Never a single problem and both guns are easily the smoothest cycling guns I have.

Your example is so full of variables that to claim that a proven design by a high quality manufacturer is “garbage” and the reason all of your brass wasn’t landing in a nearby tool box is…ummm…yeah, call me skeptical.

What did JP tell you when you told them this story?

Okay Junior go back and focus on your reading comprehension and reread my post in it's entirety.

Now let me grab some crayons and see if I can color this out for you so you can understand the topic at hand.....

Obviously you don't know me or what I do.
I probably own more JP Rifles than anybody on the Hide and have conducted many reviews on their Rifles and individual parts, I have done a unrecollable amount of custom builds utilizing JP products and complete rifles since 2007.

I'm not even trying to boast these are just the facts.

JP has been having QC issues off and on for a while now with their QPQ Coating and Gas Rings specs, I've spoke with Dave several times about these issues.

Two months ago I had to send in a Grendal Bolt and a HP .308 bolt for Warranty replacement for these very same reasons, I built a couple High End Precision Uppers for customers and had to replace their Bolts because after one range Session the QPQ coating came off.

The fact is there isn't a Firearms Manufacturer on this planet that hasn't had QC problems from time to time , Shit happens!!.

The issue and why one piece Gas Ring sets are Garbage!! Is because like most firearm parts they have to be within a certain spec, and if QC falls off just little reliability starts to suffer and if One Piece Rings fall out of spec you're going to have failures plain and simple.

But do you know what has a extremely wide effective operational window???

That's right the good old fashion 3 piece gas rings design! Quality 3 piece gas ring sets and one piece gas rings are all disposable wear parts with a lifespan.

A few years ago I was helping a buddy through his first local PRS Gas Gun Match, on the 3rd stage he started to have failures to extract. After doing a quick cleaning and inspection I saw that his Gas Rings were basically smoked, not having any spare gas rings on me cuz I wasn't competing that day I removed his gas ring from the bolt stretch them out, reinstalled them and he finished the match with 100% reliability.. let me see somebody do that with a JP one piece gas ring....

Nuff said!..

Ukraine war Bullshit.

So hundreds of billions of dollars given to Ukraine for free under Biden that Trump now mineral rights for is somehow bad for Russia?

How?
We never gave hundreds of billions of dollars. We sent billions worth of war material, a lot of which was already scheduled for decommissioning, some of which was new production already headed to NATO partners who deferred or transferred to Ukraine.

Either way, we have given Ukraine at least $175 Billion in aid, and now Trump wants a return on our investment.

This is terrible for Russia because it snatches the jewel from Putin’s grasp, as Ukraine is very rich with resources that Russia sees itself as the de facto arbiter of for some reason.

It’s one of the most brilliant moves I’ve ever seen in foreign affairs. Every other US White House would be thinking one-dimensionally in terms of military aid, sanctions, and managed escalation. Trump thinks in totally different terms.

vaccines?

I am probably one of the last groups of people who had a smallpox vaccine.
Yes. I was in wastewater treatment for 35 years and still hold a license(not much longer). When you compare the rise and fall of polio, the vaccines historical timeline... There is a direct correlation with polios decline, and the rise of advanced wastewater treatment and advent of clean water availability to the masses. This is something the government actually excelled at in our country. Thats why i get a hoot out of people screaming about "water quality" in 2025. It has literally never been better in the last 400 years.
The polio vaccine did not erradicate polio. Clean water did.
As i have told you before. Let society fail and the infrastructire fail. You will see all the uglies show back up in force. Polio, dysentary, diptheria, cholera, typhoid, etc ad nauseum.

Smallpox is a true vaccine. They tried that route with polio and gave a shit ton of people actual polio...amomg other vaccine injuries.
WE have had smallpox vaccine for....a hell of a long time. Justcoff top of my head...at least 125 years. It absolutely works because it actually exposes your system to a weakened virus. You get one "pox" scar at the injection site. Nothing beats aquired immunity. Does a vaccine give you aquired immunity? Maybe, depends on the vaccine. A true vaccine is a good thing. There are very few if any true vaccines anymore.
i wish i had never had the Hep B vaccine. I am convinced it screwed my liver up, and can and does cause liver cancer. I was in a high risk(they said) profession, and succumbed to peer pressure.

Len Horowitz goes in great detail about why old vaccines were much safer and why the newer vaccines are so damn dangerous.
What it boils down to?
"Clean" animal "vessels" are expensive and "should" be one time use. Unfortunately....it is a "product" for profit. What could possibly go wrong......

Rifle Scopes Which Crossover Scope would you choose?

Made an account many many moons ago, forgot it existed, couldn’t get logged in, made new account, then got logged in to the old and ended up posting on the og account which just needs deleted… not sure who’s more autistic though 😂
Really shouldn’t post selfies on line!

We all kinda knew this...ATF monitoring

if personal responsibility was "enforced" as a basic element of our legal system about 70% of our laws would be unnecessary. ie if you do the crime,you do the time (or the ride on old sparky). doesn't matter if you were beaten as a kid,drunk,on meds,whatever. that is in only a very small way a part of our system. our liberal overseers use anything as an excuse to allow and forgive any bad behavior. handling of our recent imported scum seem consistent with that?
Lawyers…

Toll Road Scam

i forget the basics, but the news was showing someone that got scammed on something. this idiot somehow bought and handed over actual gold to satisfy the supposed ticket, fine or whatever. i mean, how friggin naive, insane or whatever do you have to be to go and buy gold and then hand it over to someone, esp at some random place and not some govt offices...

on a possibly related note, also saw a news bite where a florida county sheriff had someone extradited from NY or NJ and read them the riot act at the arriving airport for scamming a FL senior citizen. pretty friggin cool.

It's a means of power.... wouldn't want the civilian populace getting ideas... AND have AT4's, 81mm MTR or old Sherman tanks, that's scary..... like no that's really scary there's some friggin retards I don't want to be around who have a firearm and live ammo near by. imagine if they had a RPG..... Now that said, man the constitution says what it says, those people, personal accountability be a thing. And we're a nation of laws or we're not, stop the fence riding and arresting people like the guy from the CRS channel for a drawing on a card a gunsmith couldn't even make work and pretend you're protecting people from anything.

Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

Myself, as a first season shooter who is in the open class, It would be nice to have a bracket that i actually feel like i could win. Trophies always go to the top 3, top senior, lady, junior, etc....but most matches don't do anything for the real armatures who are the 80% that feed the sport. Why would an amateur like myself ever go and play in a golf tournament with 10-20 pros? I know i have no chance to win. I feel like the sport should include Amateurs and first year un-classed shooters just like they do others groups.
Using your golf tournament analogy, I’ll ask you, how do you think that those who get to be pros get where they are? By shooting against those that they know they can beat or by playing with the best? Therefore they learn from and get to know the best. If they want to.

Or you can choose to pay for membership in a sanctioning organization of your choice and then you can truly compete score wise with anybody that your goals deem proper for you.
