I have a Savage 12FCv .223 with a stuck bolt. There is a spent case in the chamber, and the bolt will lift, but will not draw back. Gunsmith says the Case may have ruptured and is causing it to stick... he is attempting to remove it.
My question is this: I removed the ejector pin/plunger because someone told me it may shoot more accurately if I reduced the tension on the ejector spring... rather than reducing the spring tension by grinding it town a bit, I removed the whole plunger and retaining pin. I then fired 12 rounds without issue. Now it is stuck. Did I do something stupid? Might I have damaged it?
Any ideas / advice is appreciated.
