[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 972737, member: 50867"] Although beating the bolt open with a block of wood is likely to eventually get it open, I'm not sure it would be my first choice. I have the impression that opening the bolt is not something that qualifies as an emergency so let's discuss what procedure you followed when you "cleaned the bolt" Did you disassemble it? Can you lift the bolt at all; even a few thousandths? Can you see any burrs or other marks on the front of the bolt handle where it cams with the action when it's fully open? Is the firing pin fully forward of the bolt plug? (look at the rear of the bolt and see if the end of the cocking piece is even with or resting just below the surface of the bolt plug) Let us know what you find. Also, remove the front action screw (it runs from the front of the bottom metal under the rifle in front of the trigger guard and up into the stock and ties in with the action just inside the chamber) and see if that solves your problem.
