Bought a lightly used custom rifle - around 150 rounds out of it. Has a defiance deviant tactical and bartlein. Bolt binds up a bit when it's fully at the back and you try to rack it forward to pick up a round. If you don't have it held loosely and push perfectly straight, the bolt front end will just get "stuck" on the action somehow and not move. Happens pushing too far inside, outside, up, or down.

Gun was cerakoted by the custom builder when they originally made it about 10 years ago. Thoughts?
