[QUOTE="Duvel, post: 775390, member: 34376"] Thanks JE for the advice. It turns out that using a bolt with minimal clearances does alleviate the binding. In a short conversation with a friend of mine about this, he mentioned that he had a PTG bolt for a Remington 700. To my knowledge, the early 700's(pre anti-bind) and 721's were basically the same except for a few cosmetic differences. I measured my bolt and it actually had a slight taper, .693" in the rear and .695 in the front. The PTG Bolt measured .700" exactly. He was gracious enough to let me stick the new bolt in my 721 and give it a few vicious dry cycles. TADA! It ran slicker than a honeymoon erection! I hope this helps anyone that ever runs into this problem. Cody [/QUOTE]
