Bolt Smoothing
Bolt operation can be a little stiff but this can be greatly eased and smoothed up by some
judicious polishing of the "over-the-center" cam surfaces of the bolt
and the other bearing surfaces shown below. In addition you can inspect and
smooth up the inside of the bolt body. You should also check the face of
the ejector plunger. It should have no sharp edges where it contacts the
base of the cartridge. If the edges are sharp, lightly break them with a
fine stone and polish the tip. Lubricate lightly and reassemble the bolt.
