Edit: so even when the rifles empty the bolt is still not able to be pulled back all the way, I can get about a quarter of the way open and it won't go any further. I have to pull pretty hard for it to get back this far shown in the picture.
I picked this rifle up for around $120 at my local gun store and I immediately took it home and cleaned it. Took it out on the range with the recommended ammo and I was getting several failure to feeds. It wouldn't correctly align the bullet so when it would go to chamber the next round it would sheer off part of the lead because it was trying to force it into the hole. So I took it home and completely cleaned it this time, and went to the range and had some better success, but with some of the same issues with it but towards the end I had a malfunction happen. I couldn't get the bolt to come back it felt like it was stuck. So I got it home cleaned it and it pulled out little slivers of 22 ammo and it was sliding back and forth all right until I put the springs back in it. Is this just an issue with a recoil spring etc? There's next to nothing online about these things that I've been able to find and I know one of you guys out there know what's going on. Thanks
Ps The picture shown is one that looks exactly like mine, I didn't take a picture of it and I won't be able to for a bit
