    110 Tactical bolt problem after shot…can’t pull bolt out

    It’s a 6.5CM, 140gr Hor BTHP w/41.5 grains 4350, Hor 2xfired brass.
    Have shot over 200 of this load fine.


    Today at range fired a shot, went to load another round and bolt was jammed.
    Bolt would lift, but not travel to rear to eject case.


    Did the stock bump on the bench seat and bolt went full back and kicked case out.
    However, now can not get bolt out of action. Can run bolt back in and close, but trigger not cocked.


    Saw that firing pin was distorted. See pic.
    Plan on taking action/barrel out of chassis to inspect.
    Is it possible to disassemble bolt in action to free it up and remove from action.


    Thanks, Red

    Hmm...that is odd. Pull the barreled action from stock, and remove the SEAR pin, to remove TRIGGER/SEAR ASSEMBLY. BOLT will pull right out from there. Then you can further inspect all components.

    This pin.

    That's not the firing pin in the picture... it's the ejector, and it is supposed to be like that. Did you blank a primer?

    Is the bolt release moving?
    If not, that may be the reason the bolt can't be removed.
    Did the brass still have the primer in the pocket?
    If not, the primer may be stuck somewhere keeping the bolt from moving.
    I had a buddy with an AR have that problem two or three weeks ago when a primer popped out of a loose primer pocket and somehow wedged itself into bolt carrier channel.

    From your picture, the bolt seems to be scratched along the bolt face in an arc above the extractor.
    Also there seems to be a lot of shavings everywhere, unless they are powder particles.
    That's the part the would worry me.

    41.5 gr of 4350, either H or IMR, should only create a bit under 53,000 psi pressure or about 84% of Pmax.
    That shouldn't be enough to cause severe overpressure unless the bullet was wedged into the rifling or you have a really tight chamber.
    Mu 12 LRP had a tight chamber, tight enough to cause overpressure signs with pressures of 37500 psi, but it never causes the kind of problem you're having.

    Thanks for the reply's..

    Yes ejector...
    Case looks normal, primer intact
    COAL is 2.805...
    Bolt release only moves a fraction

    When time permits will pull from chassis and look around.

    You did push the bolt forward, pull the trigger and hold while pressing down on the release, right? Then when the release was fully depressed you pulled the bolt out right?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Bolt will not come out if safety is on.

    ^^^^^ Likely that when you slammed the butt on the bench to get the bolt back, the safety moved back too, keeping you from pulling the trigger to remove the bolt.

    The ejector is the new design, not damaged or mis formed, to help ejection issues.

    Back to the original issue, have you checked for a carbon buildup in the chamber just aft of the throat. This might be causing an over pressure situation due to pinching the bullet at the case mouth.
    Banning a gun will not solve what is a mental health crisis inflamed by incendiary rhetoric on social and television media. The first amendment in this case is less precious and more likely the causal factor than the second amendment.

    That ejector is a design used on rifles with AICS mag systems. It is beveled for feeding issues, not ejection.

    BINGO!

    When looking rifle over, again, the red dot was visible.
    The safety was just kissing the dot.
    Pushed it farther away and all is good again....

    Again, thanks for the help....

    Yes, thank you.. I’m fully aware of that. Was how I envision it viewed by a person who lack all the terminology. But I just should have said Sear pin, as I circled it anyway. Thank you for your contribution, and edited.
