So, I recently inherited a Remington 511 Scoremaster from my father.

The rifling in the bore is still intact, and seems to be in perfect condition after the patches I ran through the bore stopped coming out green. However, the bolt sticks during the up/down portion of the bolt's travel, like it takes some extra force to get the bolt to engage and travel downward. Furthermore, I did experience a slam-fire at the range when I pushed the bolt forward too aggressively. Finally, I don't know how to describe the outward condition of the barrel - it doesn't appear rusted or corroded, necessarily, but the finish looks uneven.

How would one go about diagnosing and fixing these sorts of problems? Thanks in advance.
 
I'd start with taking her all apart and give her a good cleaning.
For the metal,OOOO steel wool and gun oil will due wonders.
Sounds like you have a sticky firing pin or a crud caked trigger/sear.
