| Well, I got my A-5 last night and shot it a few times. But today, I tried to shoot, and when I pulled the bolt back and pull the trigger nothing happens. Then if I move the gun right, the bolt will go forward by itself. I'm not to much of a techy, but it you could help me out. |

| It came with a stock that I took off afterwards, and put on the original end-piece. |

you should take it apart and check if something happened on the inside just to make sure you didnt do anything when you took it apart. |

| check all the internals to make sure everything is there. make sure the main drive spring is there. |

| everything seems normal, not that I've had it long enough to know what normal is. But the trigger just doesn't feel right, I can't pull it back far enough. |

| is the safety off? when you took off the stock did you do anything to the grip frame? make sure the sear is working correctly with the trigger and that the bolt is in the gun the correct way (not sure if it can be in wrong). |

That was going to be my guess right after I asked about whether or not tank was screwed on all the way... -------------
