[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2358871, member: 10755"] I have come across this several times and, there appears to be no cause, BUT if the ejector is sticking, it pushes on the case head making it hard to rotate. The other cause can be the pin that holds the firing pin to the cocking piece can work loose and bind the bolt body. I have all the tools to dismantle Rem 700 bolts safely, did the gunsmith that looked at your bolt pull it apart? Often it is the unseen that causes all the problems. If you have a magnifying glass, take a close look at the extractor, it may be bent. If not, use your phone’s camera to take some pics then blow them up to look closely at it. Soak the bolt in Carby cleaner, dismantle the firing pin assembly and clean it with the above to remove all carbon and only LIGHTLY oil it. Re-assemble and see how it goes. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
