Hello,
Sorry I haven't been as active but I found myself in a predicament this past weekend. I was wondering if someone could assist me in finding out why a certain spring and detent is giving me issues? The bolt release is stuck, as if the spring is half-way compressed and the release lever is just loose. Possibly scoring in the channel? Maybe a beaten up detent? This is the second time it's happened. First time I was able to remove the retaining pin out myself and clean out the gummed up oil/carbon in the spring and detent channel (Dirty buildup was the culprit the first time). It has happened again but I don't want to remove the retaining pin myself because it's already a bit scratched up from getting it out the first time. Would it be more plausible to have this serviced or just strip it and buy another lower? Money is not the biggest issue, but I'd like to have a functional, reliable rifle when I'm done without putting a hole in my wallet. I've stripped all but the stock and buffer spring retaining pin. Any help is appreciated.
