[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1450141, member: 10755"] I had the same issue with a 80’s vintage BDL I used to build a 22-250 on, bolt lift got stiffer and stiffer until I disassembled it and discovered the retaining pin for the firing pin was wiggling loose each time the rifle fired and was binding on the bolt shroud. Some bubba had installed it from the wrong side, boogering up the hole making it loose, had to drill it larger and put a different pin in. Do not pound on that pin, they are softer than you think and you WILL flare it and booger up the hole when you finally get it out...oh they only go in ONE WAY, and come OUT ONE WAY. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
