,,hello ,,will they cycle manually? and can you eject the shells manually,,if so.. it sounds like you have a part of the gas system either in backwards or in wrong place look here

chrMasterModel=0860z1100 and make sure the gas rings #73+74 and the rubber O ring #12 are in properly and make sure the O ring is in the right place or isn't pinched or damaged ,, if everythings the way it should be.. it should shoot and eject,,but it sounds like it's not cycleing properly and that sounds like a the gas cylinder isn't sealing the gasses to cycle the bolt back ,, thats my guess if it will work by hand but not when fired ..
