[QUOTE="trickytune, post: 964519, member: 69289"] Hi, I was at the range with my Browning A bolt II .223 rem today and had a misfire. The rifle has fired approx 110 rounds from new at that point. This is the second time its happened. Ammo was factory federal. The firing pin mark was much less both times its happened compared to rounds that have gone off. I have pulled the bolt apart to check and clean and have found if inserted from the other end of the bolt the firing pin feels a bit sticky. I can hardly see it but there is a spot about 3/8" from the end where you can catch a fingernail on. Which in me eyes is the issue. Should I just polish it up? It probably still has 18 months warranty but Im not sure I want to go through the grief of dealing with that. [/QUOTE]
