I have a new to me Ross MKIII that has the bolt rivet in place and the rifle works.
The rifle was desperately dirty and tons of grease. I stripped it down to the bolt. I had some issue dissembling the bolt. After removing the sear the two main parts of the bolt that are supposed to rotate apart would bind and I had to put a lot of hand force to get it to come apart. Nothing looks wrong with the teeth and I cleaned everything up inside and out.
My problem is that it now binds when I am trying to put it back together. I know it can go together at least two ways, one wrong and one not. I do know how to tell when it's together correctly but I don't want to force it at the point where it binds.
Anyone have any experience with this issue?
Regards,
Kevin
