What’s wrong with my 700 short action?
I had a similar problem on a short 700 action, the culprit was the fitted pin that holds the firing pin to the cocking piece, it had wiggled loose and was binding on the bolt body as the rifle cocked on opening.
How do you get a stuck bolt out?
You can try to tap the bolt with a cleaning rod from the inside while pulling the bolt. Don’t beat to hard on it. My dad’s got stuck, he beat on it and broke the handle off. Maybe put some lube down the barrel, let it sit overnight. Try again? While it was getting harder to open/close, was there any screeching of metal on metal?
