OK, prior to season, range trip ==> All was fine.
Get out there first thing, first morning in the dark, and the bolt will not turn closed all the way on an unfired primer.
It will still fire from this 3/4ths closed condition, sometimes, and sometimes will not. On the last day it took 3 primer strikes to fire to unload the rifle.
Now, take the primer out from it's little holder and voila, the bolt closes all the way just fine and dry fires just fine.
On a FIRED primer, it would close at first, but later in the weekend would also not close all the way on a fired primer.
So whaddya think, just a good cleaning?
