[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 1612943, member: 109060"] Just returned from seeing gunsmith at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO. The sticky bolt is a Cerakote problem. The rails in the action have a thick layer of cerakote. He said the bolt scratches are where it is wearing away the cerakote. He said it will get better & to use some extra lube until then. The feed issue was a simple fix. The Wyatt’s box wasn’t set right. It was cocked with the upper right hand corner sitting by the right side of feed rail. The gunsmith should have given me a heads up about the sticky bolt. If he single fed when test firing he could have missed the feeding issue. I’m keeping in mind that he was working in pain and trying to finish the job before his operation. He had neck vertebrae fused Thursday from an auto accident. I couldn’t count the times i’ve been in Bass Pro Shops and never realized they had full custom gunsmith services. My wife told me about it. I have been very worried about my 1st custom and want to thank everyone for their help. After the gunsmith heals we’ll see about fine tuning the feeding. Thanks Again, Lynn [/QUOTE]
