recoil spring for Browning Bar

[colt45gunner]

My Browning Bar long trac .300 winmag, is suppse to be good at feeding well, but it's not. It sometimes doesnt close all the way and i have to give it a push to close and lock before firing next round.

Any know if there's replacement recoil springs with an extra pound or two of pressure ?
or is there another solution to this ?
the gun is cleaned and not having issues for that reason.

You shouldn't need an extra power spring, factory should be fine.

Make sure the piston is clean, rust free, and moving freely.

The timing latch can raise a burr on the bolt head and retard rotation.

Make sure that the ammo is not suspect.

Good advice,to try.

A scope mount screw that is too long can drag across the top of the bolt and slow it down, losing the energy used to rotate and lock. You might be able to do a visual check by removing the mag.

o.k. i'll check that. Ammo i've used is all brand new & brand name (winchester/remington)factory, so should be fine there.

Check to make sure the ejector compresses fully and doesn't hang up in the bolt head.
