Cooey 600 Bolt Issue

[WinchesterStevens]

I've got a really nice Cooey 600 that was given to me, I've cleaned it up (now that I've figured out the proper way to remove the bolt) and everything seems to be in good shape. One small problem that I can't figure out, the bolt is really tight coming back, feels like there's pressure on the bottom of it. It moves smooth on return and moving it back and forth, but gives me some trouble only when pulling it back to #### it. I've played with the tension between the magazine stud and magazine, to see if there's a sweet spot in there, but nothing really changes. Also, if I were to hold the trigger and open the bolt, it will drop right back without any issue, I'm stumped.

Sounds like the sear is dragging on the bolt body.
Are there any apparent marks on the underside of the bolt?

You might be right. How do I remedy it?

Try backing off the tension on the magazine tube bolt.
Do this adjustment when the bolt is fully pulled open.
Too tight causes issues.
Another issue I've found on one I've owned is the linkage below
the barrel was bent slightly owt oh shape.
Eyeball'er and see if it izz awl in perpendickular with the barrel.

Definitely not the tension on the magazine tube, played with that a bit already. I think the linkage is the issue for sure, just gonna be fun getting it lined up properly.
