[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2292479, member: 94491"] I personally (usually) use the bolt release button. Unless I'm hunting, then I rase the bolt forward with the ch and either bump the fa or use my thumb on the bolt to "bump it" into battery if no fa. Sounds like your headspace is tight. Did your "smith" check the headspace when you took it in to him? Fyi-- just for info-- there are 3 headspace gauges ( shortest to longest) go gauge, no- go gauge, field gauge. If he got it to load with factory ammo but you couldn't, it sounds like it is probably the bare minimum ( tight on a go gauge) -- can you get your hands on some of the factory ammo that he had? If you can get it to load and shoot, it will probably loosen up after a mag or 2--- BUT your smith should be helping out with this situation [/QUOTE]
