Not so junior
I picked up a Weatherby SA-459 at a pawn shop the other day. Looked really nice, clean and no scratches. Later when I took it out to the desert to shoot it I discovered it would not cycle.
Didn't even budge the bolt. I figured there was some latch or button I don't know about that keeps it from cycling. I have an old 22LR that acts as a single shot depending on the position of the bolt lever thingy.
I googled the issue and found the piston can be changed for light loads or heavy loads.
Am I missing anything. I took it apart and it has the heavy load piston in it. I pulled the O-ring from the barrel and it looks ok.
I'm thinking on getting a new light piston and a new o-ring and see what happens. Any other ideas?
Thanks
