Tmney trigger and slightly tighter bolt operation???

[CJK8]

I had a gunsmith install a timney trigger in a remington 700. There is slight more resistance when lifting the bolt and just a slight bit of sticky drag when pulling the bolt back. Is the timney possible pushing against the bolt a little more with a tighter fit? Thanks.

I installed a Timney trigger in one of my Model 70 winchesters a few months back and I remember reading in the instructions that on some rifles the sear could extend too high and engage the bolt to much, and have to be adjusted. I assume the top of the sear would have to be milled down until it didn't touch the round side of the bolt. If I were you I would take it back it to the gunsmith and let him make the adjustment. You could also call Timney trigger customer service and ask them what to do. BW

My bad. I guess I wasn't paying close enough attention before the timney was installed. The bolt is dragging on the magazine. Thanks.
