...You didn't say *how* you got it...or what the problem was...

Come on now...Did you beat it on your workbench??? Did you smack it good with a hammer (always my first choice)???

Was it jammed??? Did the holdopen spring break??? Dirt or yuck under/in the holdopen slot???

Somebody else will have this problem...please share your fix...

Sorry about that-wish I would have took photos. Basically once I was able to break it down I found that the holdopen spring was bent such that the holdopen would not disengage unless manually held down. I bent it back in shape and now it works as it should, Thanks again to everyone. Im loooking forward to seeing how it shoots. By the way it looks like all the parts are numbered the same (even mags) except that there are two numbers that dont seem to match on the bolt that are Xed out. I assume that means these parts are from different guns? Does the gun maintain any collector value if not matching? Its a pretty tight piece.
