    Loose bolt handle


    12FV 22-250. Action is all stock.
    The bolt handle is pretty sloppy/wiggly/loose. Doesn't matter if it is open or closed. Is this something that is normal. Just seems a bolt shouldn't bounce around.

    OK I tried tightening the hex head bolt on the back..It was definitely loose. So now I have the bolt snug, should I take this hex head bolt out and use some thread locker on it? Will the bolt come flying apart if I do?

    No you don't have to do that, now that it is tight it will be fine.

    OK thanks guys.

    All done and ready for some Prairie Doggin' Sunday...Or as we put it "feeding the hawks". Where I go, shortly after we start shooting, a few hawks will show up and start chowing down even as will are still shooting. Pretty awesome to watch.
