Safety is now operational. Got back to sighting in. Today plopped a dozen rounds on paper and surprised myself positively at 200 yards, although moved the scope forward after being pummeled.
Headspace problem, I assume? After a few rounds, but not before, the bolt got sticky while closing on some unfired rounds (Nosler Big Game purchased from Nosler). And some rounds would not allow the bolt to close at all. Once home with painters tape, all fired empty brass loaded fine except when one layer of tape was present. With tape none let the bolt to close. Same experience with one live round. Heat have anything to do with 3-4 successful rounds then not when fired?
In January I’ll see if SSS can schedule a date for it.
The trigger hinge pin appears to be in backwards. Normally not an issue unless there is too much clearance between the head of the pin and the stock, the pin can creep over enough to disengage from the left side of the sear. Had that happen on an aftermarket stock. Reversed the pin and no further issues.
Sounds like it may be headspaced a bit tight. Might want to buy, borrow or rent a headspace gage and check it out yourself. If your shot brass chambers with a slightly stiff bolt drop, that brass is fully fire formed to your chamber. You can measure that shot brass with a headspace comparator and compare to new factory ammo. If the factory ammo is longer from base to shoulder, that is your issue.
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.
