[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1673561, member: 2736"] First thing to do is find another Gun Smith and see if he can solve your problem. If you have to do it your self, The first thing to do Is with the action open make sure that there is no obstruction in the chamber. then without placing a round in the chamber, Try to close the bolt. If it closes on an empty chamber the problem is probably the chamber it's self. Next find or buy an appropriate go gauge ($35.00) dollars and check the head space. If the correct head space gauge doesn't fit, The chamber is wrong. It is unbelievable that the smith didn't function test the rifle and for sure test fire the rifle. WARNING : DON'T PLACE A LIVE ROUND IN THE CHAMBER UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
