I have a 527 Varmint in 204 Ruger that I recently won in a raffle that I’m having trouble with. The bolt is not picking up a cartridge from the magazine and loading it into the chamber.
When I try to chamber a cartridge from the magazine the rifle will not chamber the cartridge, ever.
If the bolt catches the edge of the case it will push the cartridge forward part way then slip off the edge of the case and the bolt will move up the side of the case at which point the cartridge will be jammed with the cartridge partially in the magazine.
It seems to me the magazine is not going far enough up into the receiver to allow the bolt to pick up a cartridge from the magazine because if it catches the cartridge it just barely catches the top edge of the cartridge.
I measured the distance of the lip on the detent on the rear of the magazine to the top edge of a cartridge and that was 1.45 inches. The dimension from the detent stop from the trigger guard/bottom metal to the bottom of the bolt was 1.42 inches, as best as I can measure.
Are any of you aware of this problem or have you heard of or encounter this problem with any of your CZ's?
Thanks for your help.
