[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1425684, member: 20646"] Thanks! I did straighten it, but i'm going to take the advice of experts and will be ordering a new pin ASAP. Any suggestions on where i should source a new one? I work for a mission agency so titanium is gonna be outside the budget. Incidentally, the bolt has never, ever been disassembled. I am the 1st and only owner of the rifle and just within the last 3 days acquired the tools to take it apart. The rifle, chamber, bore and trigger (which i have disassembled and adjusted to my liking keeping within safe parameters) have always meticulous cleaned, but the bolt is all new to me. I noticed as i was unscrewing the firing pin assembly from the bolt body there is a high-spot somewhere between the those two components. To me that means one or the other is 'out-of-round'. Unfortunately i have neither the skills nor tools to establish exactly where. There is a spot just ahead of the threads in the bolt body which have had the factory black coating scratched, but the sticky-ness in tightening does not begin until the firing pin assembly has been inserted where the threads on the bolt shroud are engaged.
