Bighorn tl3 bolt sticking on lift.

[chrisollis]

So my TL3 I’ve been shooting for a few years just started to exhibit this hard stop of the bolt upon opening. Noticed on dry fire. Bolt will get stuck on the first lift on the way up. Like something is impending it. Once out of say 15 times. I’ve attached a picture where it’s sticking. Any ideas? SA TL3 same proof barrel it’s had, same TT trigger. Thanks guys!

Email zermatt. They are great to deal with.

Taken the firing pin out and blew the bolt body clean? Make sure it’s not a piece of punctured primer or something that got blown in.

I haven’t yet. I’ll do it when I get home. That would certainly make sense.

If it’s not that I’d be suspect of something broken in the trigger but still contained within. And occasionally the fracture doesn’t line up right which is why it would be intermittent and not consistent.
