[QUOTE="RandyTheReloader, post: 781474, member: 32513"] I stopped by LRH to enter the MCS give away contest.So I felt before RandyTheReloader makes a fool of himself with Remington Arms 1st I'll just do it here on LRH fellas.Problem:My R700 SFII Sendero bolt lugs seem to hang up when going in & coming out.When going in I have to use a few ft/lbs to get it locked up.Not too bad,but we are not talking "smooth as silk".Then "without firing" to extract the live round when the bolt is raised open it does not want to just pull open easy.My right hand pinky contacted the Shepherd scope yesterday working it,and had to stop when things turned bloody.I had been using the neoprene side of my gunsmith hammer to lightly tap it loose at the handle.I kept a factory round back to use for my reloading.Yes the factory feeds back & forth OK,not super smooth but acceptable enough.My handloads are the stickler.I have used my Mitutoyo di-calipers to measure every aspect between both.They are identical.As for headspace yes the brass has been previously fire formed by this chamber.No the gun has not been fired over 200 times.As usual it's probably something stupid simple I have overlooked.Chamber is clean.If any of you smitty's out there know(by experience maybe)what to tell me please do.Last forum I read about it when I searched online the responders got so "stupid" about it I just stopped reading.Nah I do not want to do something to my bolt lugs that would create gulling here at home.I see none now by definition.If it's something I should see a smitty about just tell me.Thanks fellas I'm sure the replies to this thread will find the straight expertise needed here on Len's LRH site to perhaps a home fix,or take it to a shop Randy.lightbulb [/QUOTE]
