I bought this 7.62X39 Ranch rifle last week and I had a problem. I was shooting it and after about 20 rounds the bolt wouldn't close on the next round. I pulled the cartridge out by hand and tried to cycle the bolt again. It would not go in. When I got home I called Ruger and ask what was causing this. A nice young lady said to hold the bolt handle down and rotate the rear of the bolt, shroud, to the left and listen for a click. She said it wasn't cocked. I did that and it worked fine after that. I asked her if she knew how/why that had happened and she said no. She knew right away what my problem was and the fix so she must of been familiar with the problem. Anyone here know how/why that happened? Is this a known problem with the American model bolt or is it an oddity? Thanks
