[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2381833, member: 71817"] I had that happening on a Remington 700 from the late 60's, It was new in the box but had been in the gunshop for several years. I took the rifle to a gunsmith friend and told him to work on it when he got time, no hurries. He popped the bolt apart while I stood there and showed me all this old grease that had dried out, gotten somewhat hard and prevented free firing pin travel. He popped it into a container of solvent and told me to come back at the end of the week. I did and the rifle has never had another soft primer strike in 50+ years. [/QUOTE]
