Pump Mag knowledgeables please read

[JediMastR]

So I have painstakingly got everything I need to get my pump mag up and running, however I am hitting a snag-- and that snag is the spring on the bolt! My pump rod is in perfect condition, and the rail although not factory milled, was milled based on a factory milled rail as a template and done so professional with very sophisticated equipment so I trust that too... is there something I'm missing?

is there a special way to put the valve in--like holding the pump in the cocked position or vice versa?

when you go to pump it, you feel some resistance and you can hear it scrape the spring before the gun actually cocks...im guessing it should just hit the bolt straight away in the back

if anyone has any ideas id appreciate it

thanks

JediMastR, Bend the pump rod up a little more, so it contact the bolt lip better. The scrape noise with a stiff pump action is because the rod is sliding under the bolt and not contacting the lip.........
