    Normal for the bolt to stick?

    I have a Remington 5-R in .308. It has about 120 rounds through it. Using new Federal GMM ammo. When I go to pull the bolt back to eject a spent case, the bolt sticks a bit. You need to yank on it to get it out of battery. I don't know, but it feels like the resistance is about what I...

    Gunsmithing Chrome Bolt in AR15 = Insufficient Headspace?

    I was speaking with Krieger barrels and they said that if the bolt is chromed, there MAY be insufficient headspace with the barrel. The reasoning being that if the bolt is made to milspec, and then chromed, the chrome will eat some headspace. I have a Young Mfg National Match Chrome Bolt...
