I got bit by the Simpson’s LTD. Husqvarna bug a couple of months ago. Bought a 9.3x62 640, and a 30-06 640. Both had cracks behind the tang, so I sent those stocks off to be repaired. I have them back now, and the rifles are put together.
But the 30-06 exhibits a condition that I have NEVER experienced in any bolt action in my entire life: the bolt is VERY hard to rotate, both on opening and on closing. It sort of feels like one of the lugs is dragging somewhere inside the action, but I can’t be sure.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this? I don’t really want to put more $$ into the rifle (e.g. gunsmith expenses), but it looks as if I may have to.
