[QUOTE="remguy96, post: 972742, member: 82212"] yes it is not an emergency but you can imagine my distress at the lack of this very important function. no, my cleaning was pretty slapdash; i removed the bolt, cleaned the barrel and dropped the floorplate and cleaned inside the magazine area. i can lift the bolt handle to about halfway so it is parallel with the floor if it is held in a firing position. there are no visible burrs or other marks of damage on the bolt. the firing pin is fully forward, but not "resting just under the surface" it is roughly 1/4" depressed. however i think that is normal as i examined the same area when the rifle was working perfectly and saw the same thing. also, just to be clear, is the front action screw the one between the trigger gaurd and the stock of the rifle or the other one? thank you so much, this is really helpful.
