About two years ago I bough a C93 from Atlantic Firearms (the only one selling these rifle to Kalifornia) .As soon as it show up at my FFl I did a quick check and it seems to work fine.
Once at home I clean and check the weapon and I barely was able to cock it, I spoke with a gunsmith friend and he told me to try (-) rollers, this style of rifle was new for me so I went ahead and tried the -2 rollers and I was able to cock it.
I went to the range and after shooting two round I inspect the case , they was marked with the chamber's flute, after the second round I had a FTE, so I decide to stop using it and find out what was wrong .I create a ticket with CAI and they denied to help me since I was living in California.....yep , the rifle sat 2 years in the safe until yesterday until I decided to go to the bottom of the story.
I put back the "original " roller and then I measure the bolt gap ( per HK manual), and after triple checking it , I figure out I'm part of the unlucky one , zero gap , nothing, nada, ...the locking piece is nice and no groove or other premature worn sign.
So from the hard to cock and no gap I figure I have a nice paper weight as right now. I'm thinking or to just try the + 8 roller and see what happen , but beside wasting some money I'm sure this is not going to improve nothing, it's like putting a bandage on a wooden leg.
I read some fixes but I wonder how much these one cost , I like this rifle for over 30 years and when I finally got a chance to have one...
Any of you who run into the same problem can give me a cost from bad to worse.
BTW serial number is C93xx 2XX
