Happened this weekend durring a varmint contest, fortuinately I brought a backup. When I close the bolt, the firing pin is riding forward. The bolt and trigger mech have been sprayed out with carb clesner and re oiled, but not stripped, problem persists. If I put the safety on before the bolt is closed, the firing pin remains cocked. However, when you take the safety off, the firing pin is released at full force. No, I did not find this out the "hard way", I assumed it would and tried it, allowed for a follow up shot on a second coyote. After that, I changed rifles. Is there a simple fix? I have yet to disassemble the bolt as I was not sure if there was some incriminating hoof prints I might erase before I knew what to look for. Any input is appriciated.
