Item Description: Fires great but the problem is when you pull the lever, the bolt gap need open enough to loosen the ball bearings to charge the bolt, ends up getting stuck where in won’t pull back. But if you take a flathead and open it up, it charges and fires just fine. It needs work that I just have to time to do. I’ll show pictures of what I mean and how you use the flathead. Not looking to trade, just sell unless you have something amazing. Comes with two mags

So bolt wont pull back on an empty chamber unless you use the flathead? But once its in battery with a round it operates fine until its empty? does the bolt hold open on the last round?

The design of the CETME/G3 rifles does not incorporate a last shot bolt hold open

I think he's saying that the bolt stays stuck in the closed position and needs to be pryed open with a screwdriver...I know nothing about roller locks, but it sounds like a roller problem?

Yes exactly. That’s what my gunsmith told me, it might be the rollers.

I read about this some time ago when researching century "builds" vs PTR, zenith, etc.
Sounds like the stop on the charging tube was built out of spec (Century) allowing the handle to travel too far forward thus making it hard or impossible to unlock the rollers at the rear. Good price if that's the case.
