I bought a used S/a from a member here awhile back. It seemed great at the time, but haven't had a chance to do anything with it till now. I'm told it was T&T by SSS and had the homemade bolt lift kit installed and an aftermarket (PTG?????, can't remember for sure) bolt head installed.

Anyways, it gets "hung up" when trying to close the bolt. The only way I can close it is if I slam it forward real hard and aggressively, otherwise, the bolt will not drop. It almost feels like the bolt head has a sharp edge catching on a rough spot in the barrel threads of the action. When I just try to push it forward like normal so as to close it, it stops a little short.

Now I am thinking it seems as though the part of the sear that protrudes up into the action is hanging up on something.

I tried removing the lift kit (BB in pistol case head) and it made no difference.

Any ideas?

I can't post pics, but can email them or send to a cell, although I don't know what you'd see.
