    Just got home, installed my Jewell on my new LTR per the instructions. Went to dry fire and it was GREAT at first. Then progressively the bolt got harder and harder to manipulate. Now, my rifle sits there and the bolt won't cock. Anybody ever see this issue?

    Gunsmithing Can I disassemble a bolt?

    I was planning on painting a rifle. Is the bolt easy enough to disassemble that I can do it without too much difficulty or do I need special tools? It is a Winchester M70 push feed bolt. I was going to use duracoat. Are there parts of the bolt that absolutely shouldn't be painted? Rick
