B17 and B22 Bolt fix question

[Irish Lad]

Has anyone actually had this problem? When I do a search I don't find any except for the videos. I asked on the RFC site and only got one reply(Fasteddie01, who is on this site too). I'm picking up a B22 LR Left Hand this weekend. Thanks

Hi Irish Lad, I just wanted to post a link to the RFC thread, in case some folks here don't 'go there'. I hope you have good luck with your B22. Be sure to research mods to get the action smoothed and trigger lighter.

After almost 350 views between this site and RFC and only one person has said they did the fix, I'm gonna conclude it's a very uncommon problem. Thanks

I think most either don't have a B22 or have already done the fix. OR just apathy . . . I see many posts that go unanswered for a long time. I only do it to Share the info I've gained here and elsewhere . . . plus I'm retired.
If you ignore it, in a few years you'll look back and say WTF did I ignore this?

My neighbor smoothed the edges on my B17 and B22 bolts today. Real easy, took less than 30 minutes to do both.

On my bolt the radius for the cocking piece was ok. The rest of the bolt however was pretty crude machine work inside and out. I'd like to find a FP spring with about one pound less pressure.

Eddie has been a tremendous resource.
