Bolt Won't Close
Hi, i have a browning a-bolt in 7mm rem mag. Today i was dry firing on some snap caps and after maybe the 5th shot i threw the bolt back to eject it and to chamber the next snap cap but the bolt would only go in about half way. It looks like the black shroud at the back of the bolt is hitting the reciever right in front of the safty. Does anyone know how i can get the bolt to go back in?? The only thing that i see odd is that the cocking indicator says that the bolt isn't cocked. Please help!!
Thanks,
Nick Radovich

Shouldn't you have said PADDED, Bigbulls? LOL
BB...You are 100% right on that padded part. When I was younger, I had to work on my Rem 600 bolt. Everytime I close that dang bolt to this day I see my scratches...

RE: Bolt Won't Close
I tried doing that just now and nothing happened. i don't think i quite understand what to do. Which part of the bolt do i clamp and what should be happening. Thanks for the quick reply and that is probably what it is but i can't get the darn thing cocked.
Thanks,

The part that needs to go in the vice is the shroud around the cocking piece. Make sure that you do not clamp onto the cocking piece itself. If you do it will not move.
Part #14 here. Again Make sureto use Padded jaws.
