B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

I didn’t grease the cocking piece threads, and appreciate the tip. I’ll do that.

However, that won’t change the cock on close going on. It seems like the force to close the bolt is about 1.5x the force required to open it.
Curious, as I don't recall the B14R I owned being cock on close, but have you done any "work" on the trigger, bolt, etc, other than described above. COC is not an ideal situation for sure and if you can't figure it out then maybe a good smith should take a peek.
EDIT:
There are some excellent explanations in other forums that talk about what causes COC and how to remediate it.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

gonna get me a flaming,but. the outcome of VN war shows that the hippies and such were right all along. the reasons and motivation of different groups and individuals varied greatly. many groups and individuals were quite "pro war". VN,women's lib,drugs,civil rights,sexual revolution,huge welfare additions all hit society in MOL the same time frame and were and still are very divisive.
to me has been odd,considering all that,that so many rep,rt wing,conservative Americans have become anti war. meaning anti wars of choice and empire,not anti defense. guess that is in line with the realization by many of us that the government is corrupt at unbelievable levels,abusive and exploitative at USSR levels.
VN, was Kennedy’s war, a Democrat. Johnson prolonged it, Once committed, the right, said well, kick the crap out of the Communists, and win this motherfucker.
The Left couldn’t have us uneducated Americans killing communists wholesale. Then the left produced their visible asses, (hippies, celebrities, Hollywood, and others of the same ilk {who haven’t changed their commie colors one iota}) came out as Anti-war. And anti-conservative.
As warriors, we were kicking ass every single day. We were wining when we left.
AFTER the warriors left, the Politicians shit the bed, and quit, with no honor whatsoever. The enemy was in the USA. If we’d cleaned out Hollywood, and Haight Ashbury, we probably wouldn’t have men in women’s sports and people cutting their son’s dicks off.

Pipe dream or possible? Any legal analyses?


So back to my original post in this thread... what is the law on this? What are the next steps?

Can the DoJ file to vacate everything he ever signed? Can the SCOTUS invalidate hundreds of bills, EO's and pardons?

IIRC my grade school Civics, a bill is not a law unless signed by the President. Not a surrogate faking his signature. Seems like bright line law.

This is, perhaps, the biggest constitutional crisis since... Roosevelt? Since 1861? Certainly much bigger than Watergate.

Where does our nation and our system of checks and balances go from here? There must be some legal scholars here?

Rifle Scopes Tract Toric ELR vs Burris XTR IIIi NOW With some Burris Pro and now some Zeiss LRP S3 also!

I have the XTR Pro, LRP S3, and Razor G3. My favorite is the Razor for sure, but all are very serviceable on a hobbiest target/PRS comp rifle.

The XTR Pro is pulling up the rear on most things, but not by much. The contrast isn't quite there with the others, but the clarity is. It has a warmer look to it, and a better reticle for trying to punch parer vs the Zeiss IMO. I got mine when you could grab one for $1,400 - 1,500, and at that price range I think they are a fantastic optic. Not at $2K+ though.

For the LRP S3...I've griped about the lens coating and bloom when the rising/setting sun is directly behind you enough already. The reticle is a bit loud for my liking as well, but is very usable and reticles are personal preferences anyway. Otherwise I think it rules the roost of sub $2K optics still...but I wouldn't pay full retail of $2,200 - 2,400 to get one now.

The G3 Razor is very much comparable with the ATACR. You'll notice a difference between it and the previously two mentioned scopes above if you have them next to each other, but there's not all that much of a difference in glass. Mechanically, I like the detents on the Razor a lot more. Over Memorial Day you could get one for $2,400 again, but that only happens once or twice a year. Depending on what you qualify for... you can get an ATACR for less money the other 361 days per year, and that's what I did for my last purchase a year ago.

So my choice would be made on available budget (provided I could wait for and find the sales):

- $1,500 - XTR Pro
- $2K - LRP S3
- $2,500 - Razor

Sorry, no experience with the Element.
Cheers, that's pretty much what I had come to from reading reviews.

The basic XTR3i isn't far behind the Pro and is considerably cheaper, the Pro is an upgrade but not worth $2200.

The Razor is definitely the best but expensive at full price.

The Zeiss and Element seem to be the best value middle ground.
