I always wanted to build one but as I understand it the bolt is based of the EZ 22 bolt. Ive never been able to get any build based off the ez22 bolt to properly chamber a round from any mag I tried. Did you have to do any fine tuning after you got everything assembled?

No more so than any other primarily printed build. Kaewon has also iterated on the bolt over time, adding things like the SCS bolt face and breach face and extractor.
Generally speaking on a build like this, you need to make sure the extractor moves freely, make sure there are no edges of the bolt face that will catch on the upper, file the feed ramp>liner smooth, and i usually knock off any sharp edge in the 12 oclock position that might catch a round while feeding..... basically make sure everything is smooth
I haven't personally built an ez22, but I've done 6 complete builds of kaewon's designs all of which were loosely based on that bolt
It's possible I could've over looked the instructions but I never saw any mention of an extractor. It seemed to be entirely dependent on blowback. Id been savin a proper ten inch barrel liner
Originally it was just blowback extraction. Extractor was added a bit over a year ago
This is amazing. I never thought I could afford a Barrett until now.
I've been meaning to build one of these. I really need to get around to it.
