Browning A-Bolt feeding problem - 01/26/15 01:56 PM
I have a Browning A-Bolt in 270 win that I purchased a Boyd's stock for.
I took it to a gunsmith to have the stock bedded.
Took the rifle out yesterday for the first time to the range and the bullets are not feeding into the chamber.
If I put a bullet in the magazine, the bolt will not chamber it.
If I lay a bullet on the top of the magazine, the bolt passes over the bullet.
The only way I can fire it is to put the bullet directly into the chamber and then close the bolt.
what is causing this?
would the stock change have anything to do with this?
is this something I can correct?
