I followed your advice on a thorough cleaning. It helped, but every 1 out of ten it will stick. I am going to replace the follower and spring. That could be the problem. Has any had these problems with any gun?????
What is sticking? Prior, you indicated the bolt was catching on the follower. Is this still the case, or is the follower now sticking/failing to raise up properly.
If the follower is sticking, did you clean the insides of the magazine box also?
Check for any burrs on the follower. The edges on the sides should be clean & smooth.
I've never experienced this problem myself, but then none of my rifles are 20-25yr. old.
I trade/sell 'em off too frequently
Always looking for something else to "tinker" with.
In any case, replacing the follower and spring is easy to do, and not expensive.
