ooh, good question here.
OP didn't post more pics of the rifle, so really it could be anything, heh.

Only used Ted because I needed a place near me to ship it to...I don't buy thru him because of his prices. Heard from Santurri and it is the correct bolt and he has corrected the fitting and has it cycling without issue and just needs to adjust the headspace because it's a little tight.
this.

Picked up the rifle today...cycles like a champ. Basically he said the front edge of the bolt was hitting in a few places so he removed a little material from those couple spots and now it cycles fine...did the adjustments needed for the headspace and it's now it's ready to rock. Thanks to all of you for your input and I look forward your guidance as I move into the AK realm.
good that it's headspaced properly, but what it sounds like was done... shouldn't have been necessary to do. these things have such loose tolerances you can pick parts out of a grab bag, throw them together, and you have a functional rifle.
either way, glad to hear it's functional. go set your handguards on fire after a few mag dumps to celebrate.
