anybody care to take a stab at my problem? On firing the bolt locks back every shot or two. changed out ammo and mags, sameosameo. looked in bottom of lower for blown primers. Cant see any. may have to try dissassembling lower. I am extremely leery of that. Cant afford gunsmith right now. Anybody got an ideas?

Assuming you have a reasonably clean rifle, the first thing that comes to mind, is the bold stop/release. I suggest you remove the release, (a pin holds it in), give it a good cleaning and a light polish on both sides, and replace the spring.
