[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 921963, member: 35183"] Sounds like the bolt body has been swapped out, and also the head and a bunch of stuff. So best to check the firing pin protrusion. The bolt is easy enough to disassemble so just check it out good. Check for evidence of anything rubbing internally putting a drag on the firing pin. You have had 2 different barrels. Were either borescoped and the throat checked ? Boat tail bullets will never shoot too well if the throat is slightly oversize in diameter. Do you know if the recoil lug was the right one with the fat pin for engaging the receiver ? I got a rifle in a sale that had a Remington recoil lug installed with a long skinny pin that jammed the barrel nut before the barrel was really torqued down properly. The nut seemed tight, but it was not pinching the recoil lug properly nor pulling the barrel tight against the receiver threads. Are you sure the accutrigger blade is working right ? If it is not moving properly out the way it could slow down the movement of the sear. For that matter if the sear were to foul against any part of the stock or bedding that would also be a major problem. The sear is a pretty big component so lots of potential there and it is hard to see. [/QUOTE]
