First off right when i un-packaged the thing and fired it off on the second shot the bolt became stuck which was a real SOB to get loose, having to remove the buffer tube. I believe I solved this by threading the buffer tube in more, the problem being the bolt was catching on the hammer. Anyways it fires now and cycles.

PROBLEM 1:

There is a funny wear pattern which I think is from the hammer on the bolt, white plastic piece and the brass tube. It looks like from the wheel on the hammer but I was wondering if this is right?

Here is the wear on the plastic piece, which also slides to where I have it marked in green, and based on everything I have read it isn't supposed to.

PROBLEM 2:

Next is the hammer which looks like a piece of S$%*T. This is my first gas gun but I know this is way to much wear. I should note also that when I got the gun I fully cleaned and lubed it and yes there were metal shavings all over the place.

In SEMI the gun shoots in a burst but only one bb will shoot and as of right now I just noticed there is a bb stuck in the hopup also. So the fun begins with the GBBR lol. Also is it normal to not be able to SAFETY the gun unless the hammer is cocked?

Your help is greatly appreciated. I am an easy going guy but from an ad where the gun was posted as "great condition" is this the type of great condition I should expect in the classifieds?

If I may suggest the absolute best and easiest solution. Pay the 100$ and buy an open chamber kit for your gun. Included is a new inner barrel and hop up, as well as a new bolt. All those issues you are having you won't have t worry about again. And secondly the open chamber model performs better than the closed.
