Hi yall i need some help, i think i may have got burnt so here goes....
i bought a JC Higgins 410 bolt action model 101 for 125.00 everything seamed smooth and in working order, UNTIL i got it home where i could fire it, it shoots great BUT the bolt "binds up" bad if you put ANY pressure on it(mostly side pressure) it has plenty of oil and glides back and forth great IF you just pull and push without a shell in front, when you pit the magazine in and try to run a shell the shells pushing up on the bolt cause it to drag/bind pretty bad(you can hear it drag) and feel it. SO any ideas on what it might be? does it need a new bolt (if i could find one) ??? thanks for any help.....
