[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1417241, member: 5219"] If I read this right you are getting resistance when you close the bolt on an empty chamber? In third paragraph you said: " I removed the brass and there was still same amount of resistance in bolt in the camming over of the bolt." If this is true, IMO your bolt face may be hitting the end of the barrel. I found this link: [URL]http://www.switchbarrel.com/Savage%20FAQ.htm#ImportantNote[/URL] . "The Savage Arms Company introduced the Savage 110 rifle in 1957. The original rifles were mechanically very similar to the Savage Rifles produced today except for the breaching system. The original system was similar to that of the Remington 700 with the barrel having a [B]recessed breach[/B] that the bolt nose extended into. Savage advertised their rifle as protecting the shooter by surrounding the case head with three “rings of steel” – the barrel recess, bolt nose and the action. Starting around 1967 Savage changed the 110 barrels so that the barrel ends were flat, with minimal head clearance similar to a Mauser breech. It is these rifles that parts and barrels are readily available and are the most suitable for customization." Can you look at your original barrel? Or trace the age of your rifle to its exact age? Can you see a recess in your barrel? If there is a recess then perhaps it is not deep enough? [/QUOTE]
