[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2292461, member: 94491"] When you said "release button" I thought you meant the forward assist, but now realize you meant the bolt release Do you have a "forward assist" ? Can you get the bolt to lock with the forward assist button? If so, and its a new rifle/build--your headspace might be tight but in tolerances but you might have a small burr on the bolt lugs or barrel extension lugs-- if thats the case you may need to "work it in" by just working the action a bunch ( empty no ammo) or fire a mag or 2 of ammo to work it in. More details are needed [/QUOTE]
