Has anyone had issues with the bolt binding on an AB3? My buddy’s rifle is chambered in 300wm. He just got it and when he tried it out it wouldn’t load a cartridge. He brought it over and I tried cycling dummy rounds and you have to push the bolt sideways and forwards to chamber a round.
Browning A-bolt III bolt binding

Have a pair in regular boring 308/270 and no problems with either one.
With these fat bolt 3 lug designs there is very little to bind on, the bolt release acts as the bolt guide, try some grease in the channel on the bolt, other then that a bit of oil on the bolt body and it should function properly.
