[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1012643, member: 5219"] I am surprised there is no shiny area on the brass near belt or on the case wall. All the rifles that I have been around with the rearward removal issue had an anomaly in the chamber. The brass conforms to a rough area or in some instances a low area. When bolt has to forced rearwards it forces that "bulge" in the brass into a smaller diameter area which is the resistance. One rifle was subjected to higher than normal pressures permanently bulging the chamber. If the brass is work hardened from multiple firings that might be the cause as it won't spring back as much but that should show resistance with bolt opening as well. Sometimes a light chamber polishing might be all that is necessary. Your borescope may help you locate the issue. Please share with us what you discover. [/QUOTE]
