Hi all, I started to have trouble with light primer strikes so I disassembled and cleaned the bolt. The firing pin was a bit gummy, but I got it nice and slick.
After reassembly it is no longer cocking when the bolt is operated. Did I do something wrong?
The firearm in question is an old 110e in .223 and is left handed.
Thanks,
Pete
You assembled the bolt with the bolt body 180 degrees out. It won't cock because the cocking piece pin is on the left side. Easy fix.
Yup, that was it. I didn't take pictures and got twisted around watching videos of right-handed actions.Quote:

I have been working on this rifle for a while and just started reloading for it. I did some ladder tests and worked up a load but broke the damn thing trying to "fix" it! Now I will be able to try out my new load.
Thanks again,
