Soft bolt on auto ordinance tommy gun.

[Taeverling]

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone had experience with there AO thompson bolt bending on the end. I had some issues with some magazines making it jam and I'm assuming from the bolt slamming the jammed cartridge it has bent. The only problem is now that it has a angle on the point where it contacts the shell it doesn't engage it fully. Causing the bullet to get wedged on the bolt. I was wondering if anyone new if a new bolt was hardened more or if they are still like this?

Warranty from the factory?

None, bought it off of gunbroker from a private seller.

Could be a known problem. Wouldn't hurt to contact the manufacturer.

You're right. I will get ahold of them and see if they have anything to say. I dont care if I have to pay for a new bolt at this point, just want it to be reliable! Hopefully they will have a answer.
