Paul: What you advised worked perfectly. Once the gun was open I continued the disassembly and found the entire action clean and smooth. When I reassembled it the same problem occurred, so I will be shipping it off to NY for repair or adjustment. This gun has the flat hardened bolt plate installed, not the 12 degree step, and my sense is that there is either too much or too little angle on the interface, which is causing pinching on the bolt, but that's just a guess. I'll let the pro's figure it out. Thanks again.
