[QUOTE="merbeau, post: 1061251, member: 38494"] Hi Four months ago I sent my Remington 700 LA that was in 30-06 caliber off to be re barreled to 6.5x55. I also ordered a new PTG stainless bolt that was dropped shipped to the smith. The barrel/receiver was trued and also blued. Yesterday I received the unit back and the bluing was spectacular and the stainless fluted bolt looks really nice when inserted into the receiver. Now my problem. I took a piece of resized Norma brass and inserted it into the chamber and attempted to close the bolt. It would not close without some force and when trying to eject it would not and was difficult to remove the case from the bolt head. I then took a piece of resized bras and cut a slit in the neck with a exacto hack saw and inserted a bullet into the neck. I then placed it in the chamber and tried to close the bolt to see where the bullet touched the lands. Could not get the bolt to close. Any ideas what is the problem? Little disappointing to wait so long and now issues! [/QUOTE]
