i got a used bolt action mossberg 800bv in .243 w/ an internal box mag a couple months ago. i have about 120 rounds thru it. my problem is the bolt binds up about an inch from the full forward position. it can be pulled back but needs a stiff whack to get it all the way forward. i really don't like to hit my guns even when they're being bad. it happens about every 5-10 shots when firing and only happens seldomly if cycled when empty, however it almost always happens if when i remove the bolt and replace it. i'm not sure exactly what it is that's binding up. can't tell if it's at the front or something in the trigger / saftey assy. it worked smoothly for probably the first 50 rounds so i think it's something i'm doing. please help! any idea's welcome.
