Bit of a shit day yesterday, went up to the range to fire the first shots from the Ruger, all was good and with a 75yd zero was hitting steel at 100-200 and 300m no sweat, then the bolt got harder harder to pull back, i had just stuffed 6 rounds into the magazine so thought it might have been that, next shot had to wrench the bolt to get it back, so had a look at the ejected brass and every one has a clear gouge out at exactly 12 o clock position in the chamber, looking up the magwell I can clearly see a large burr or something in the chamber.
I know the gunsmith never removed the barrel when it was shortened because he told me he just clamped the action in his lathe
So this must be a factory flaw? I'm heading down the the local gun shop soon to see what they think
