Remington 700ML Problem
Last night I cleaned my Remington 700ML for storage and when put the bolt back in the gun it didnt feel right. When I worked the bolt it didnt have the feel that it normally did and seemed like it was slipping. I took the bolt apart and ****ed it then reassembled it and it felt fine. I removed the nipple and breech plug and dry fired it and it worked. Then after working the bolt the gun will "fire" when the safety is moved forward. It sounds like a sear problem but Im not sure.
Any thoughts??
It may be time to retire this muzzleloader after 10 years of service. Its the most accurate one Ive ever shot. Parts seem to be hard to come by.
Note: Mine was upgraded years ago to work with 209 primers. (Not the Cabelas version) which required a different spring, striker and 209 nipple.
