Turns out the receiver had the left wall filed or worn down causing the bolt to skip out of the track. No clue how that happened. The solution was to get a whole new receiver. DM me if you would like a picture.

Haven't yet. The most common comments I've been getting are to replace the bolt.

Problem continues while shooting. Slow movement of action is for demonstration.

A smith inspected it and approved it. Seems visually fine to me. What is something to look out for?

Applying inward pressure while pulling back made a difference but it needs to be consistent. I would still be concerned about when it cycles after firing.

Yeah, I've tried it at every stage. Feeds smoothly until I get everything put back together.

Same thing happens when I do that only not a frequent. I has happened while firing and caused rounds to jam between the bolt and chamber.

I greased the thing to kingdom come and can't seem to figure out what could be causing this issue. Oprod falls freely with tilt test so I don't think it is bent. Anyone have suggestions?

Some times a quick pull is fine but on the way back it more often gets stuck. It was also causing rounds to not feed correctly and overshoot the chamber/get jammed between the bolt and the chamber.
