[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2008616, member: 113623"] Depending on the quality of the hardware, the screw could have broken mid shaft and worked its way down under recoil. It wouldn't have to be sticking out far to make that kind of a dent when the pressure of the bolt was applied. It could be loose enough to have been held in place by the bolt after being put away last range session, bolt is opened now and it drops down just a little further. My guess is that it would be noticeable trying to close the bolt on an empty chamber, but I have no hands on experience with Stillers. Its a shot in the dark, but we all have to deal with Murphy's Law sometime or another. [/QUOTE]
