Looks like you need to cock your bolt. A quick search of the Internet will reveal how to cock it. If I had more time right now I'd write some instructions but a YouTube video would probably help you more anyway. Must be a few out there.

Looking for feedback on this auction. I was the winning bidder. Mainly interested if there is anything noteworthy of concern. I did get some feedback before bidding but would appreciate some from forum members if they have time and are so inclined to share their thoughts. Thanks...

My thought exactly. My guess is they do from time to time around me but others get a heads up. I'm only into collecting a couple of years and still getting to know folks. I give folks a heads up on stuff I come across that i know they're interested in. After a while I guess you build a network...

Man that is nice looking. Are you going to post pics of the VZ24?

Tiger_jedi, I somehow missed your reply. Thanks for the advice and photos. I passed on the rifle that was the subject of my thread but appreciate your time nonetheless.
