I am putting together a Nucleus build, and am having an issue. The action cycles just fine by itself, but I added a Timney Calvin Elite trigger (without the Timney bolt release) and it now has a super noticable catch. It occurs as the bolt is rotating closed, and it takes what I'd guess is about 8lbs of force on the knob to overcome.
I know that you have to have the bolt pushed all the way forward so that a pin is released. It's not that. It catches after the bolt has already rotated a little bit. I'm sure it has something to do with how the part on the bottom of the bolt (which I don't know the name for) engages the top of the trigger assembly.
This is my first 700 pattern rifle, so maybe this is to be expected? I hope not, because it makes working the bolt awful.
