I finally was able to shoot my carbine today. Fit finish and trigger is acceptable to me. The only function problem I encountered was while trying to catch empties, I had a few case rims slide back under the bolt and jamb the action. I had to pull the bolt back( with the muzzle down the bolt moves forward just enough to trap the case head) to rattle the empty out from under the bolt. I had no other issues with single loading into the port, or from the magazine tube, or with loading and ejection of empties. Now a few negatives! I took a needle file to the outer magazine tubes loading port because the inner tube wanted to grab when pushing it in. I put a very slight bevel to the inside and it's very smooth now. Then the sights, o boy! This is the worst gun I've ever owned where the sights had to be misaligned on the barrel to be accurate. The front sight had to be moved visually off center left and the rear visually off center right to shoot POA at 50 yards! It was shooting about 11 inches to the right from the factory! Great news is that it's lookin like an accurate little carbine! More to come.
