I have a Model 1 22 short (screw through the pistol grip of the stock) that when fully assembled does not allow the Breechblock to move rearward. It will slide when the receiver is not attached to the stock. The cartridge stop is present and the cartridge guide spring appears new (do you remove/file/adjust the spring any?). I own another Belgium .22 short and it has no issues. Am puzzled as to what is wrong. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Oldbird13
