Thread: new barrel - hard to eject rounds

Is the bolt hard or stiff to close when chambering a round? I would think if a round is hard to extract, it would also need some force to chamber it.

No issues at all chambering the round. bolt closes smoothly. fire round, then hard to open bolt.
I found a leather stock whip in my Ute, so used the handle(wooden handle with leather plats) to hammer the bolt open.

Would not offer this info up when presenting said rifle back to the gunsmith, might be used as a 'get out of jail' card against you...
