Newbie here with a question:
I purchased a brand new 4x4 .270 a few days ago and I haven't even fired a live round yet. The bolt has been cycling through smooth and then is just a tad harder to cycle the bolt upward, before moving backward after a dry fire (only dry fired a few times). The backwards bullet extraction/insertion motion has always required minimal effort.
However, I took off the barrel to adjust the LBA trigger (left the adjustment screw where it was) and after putting the barrel back on, the bolt almost seems to be binding on the upward motion after a dry fire - making it very difficult to move the bolt handle upward. It has done this even with the barrel off the stock, so I know it isn't stock related. I've only performed this a few times as well, because I know it's not supposed to be that hard to cycle the bolt upward.
Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.
