[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 610142, member: 24624"] From your explanation, I'd say that it's not inside the bolt itself. And, it occurs before you try to lift/close the handle. So, it's not the lug faces/abutments. That pretty much narrows it down to the fit between the bolt and the reciever. The front scope mount or bottom metal screws are often a culprit if they extend just a hair too deep. If you can't determine through inspection, then I would apply some layout blue to various parts of the bolt and run it in/out a few times to see where it scrapes off. You might even remove it from the stock just to be sure nothing's putting it in a bind. Good luck, Richard [/QUOTE]
