Last week I chambered a bullet seated into the lands and then tried to extract it, dumping a case full of powder into my single shot Surgeon action. I couldn't even close the bolt before cleaning it out.
I thought I cleaned everything up thoroughly, even taking the bolt apart and wiping it down. When I put everything back together, I fired one shot and the trigger wouldn't cock. When I took the action out of the stock, a small part fell out of the trigger.
I recleaned everything as best I could, put in another Jewel, and fired one shot- same thing happened, even to the point of the same little part falling out of the new trigger.
Any idea what I've missed?
