[QUOTE="entoptics, post: 2519430, member: 104268"] Well. I seem to be kinda screwed... I pulled the bolt apart, cleaned it thoroughly, and the problem persists. I decided to contact Savage and I got utterly zero help. Since the rifle has a custom barrel, they won't help me, despite the fact that the bolt/receiver/etc is entirely OEM. On top of that, they only sell bolt/trigger parts to a licensed gunsmith. So, because it's this "new style" with restricted parts sales, I can't rebuild it, or even replace the springs. Not sure where to go from here. Can I replace the internals with the old style parts? I'm not a fan of this idea, as it will cost 10X what a spring replacement would cost, but would be theoretically cheaper than a new bolt. Could there be something related to the trigger causing the problem? I remember reading something along those lines somewhere, but don't remember if it was a Savage or some other manufacturer. Any other thoughts/ideas? [/QUOTE]
