First post here guys, but i have been learning from you all for some time. I went out shooting today after about 6 shots i noticed a little smoke coming from the end of the bolt nearest my face. i pulled the spent brass and found this
the hole in the primmer was real tight and round i took a small screwdriver to it because i thought that there was a small piese of my firing pin brick off in it buy that wasent the case
First thought was maybe a bad primer (CCI MAG Primer) So i through another round in it. I started squeeze the trigger i felt a small click but no ignition. Now i figured there must be something wrong with the firing pin. I lifted my head off the stock buy still being careful with the like round and BANG gos the 300RUM The round still hit the target so i wasent to far out of position when it went off. But scared the piss out of me. No primer damage just the slight cratering mark it has left on the last 500 rounds fired.
So i pulled the bolt and everything seemed to be in good working order. I dry fired it about 10-15 times and there didnt seem to be anything wrong . There was a good hard snap. So i tried it again same thing happened a small click and then any little bump or movement would fire the round.
When i got the gun back home i tore the bolt apart and didnt find anything wrong. I have had a Timney trigger in it for about the last 300 rounds about a year. with no problems.
The bolt is a j lock style if anyone thinks that may have something to do with it. Any ideas of were to start??
Thanks, Mike
