I just bought a new 464 30-30 . In the process of cleaning it prior to first shots I noticed that the bolt would "lock up " when trying to open or close the lever , especially if there was any sideways pressure on the lever .
I called the factory and was told that " that was normal and to be sure not to put any side pressure when working the lever " . Not what I wanted to hear , especially for a defense gun .
In any case , I insisted that the gun go back to the factory . They are supposed to send me a shipper in the next day or so .
Has anyone else experienced this problem , and if so , has it been resolved ?
I really wanted to buy American , But I hope that was not a huge mistake .
