Not wanting to dry fire my 512, and not wanting to leave it cocked for extended periods, I decided to drop a spent 22LR case into the chamber, close the bolt, and pull the trigger. Guess what? After doing that the bolt would not retract. I wrestled with it, nothing. It would not budge. I took out the take-down pin and the bolt still would not budge. Then I started thinking, a new concept. Maybe the back pressure when you fire a live cartridge releases something allowing the bolt to retract. I slid in a cleaning rod and applied pressure to the case ... and.... it released the bolt! Thought I was going to have to send it in for service.
Never do that again. :embarrassed:
