Hello,
I had this "bolt less" 69 and I finally got a bolt for it. So, I took it to a range. Everything, looked fine: rifle was clean, bolt looked good-slightly tight, scope bore sighted, and I was expecting a pleasant day on the range.
I fired a first shot, hole was on the paper, but than ... bolt was stuck, so I applied pressure and opened it. However, the shell was still inside, I worked the bolt a couple of times and got a shell about 3mm out and took it out with a screwdriver. I tied 3 different kinds of ammo and still the same result.
Extractors seems to be fine, it extracts live ammo, but expanded shell are a different story.
I took a brush, scrubbed a chamber a bit..no improvement. Brushed some more, put some oil and still nothing.
Any ideas what is wrong if it?
Thank you Rusnak
