After 10 rounds or so, the rifle now won't stay cocked. When I depress the anti bear trap lever (while holding the cocking handle, of course!), the bolt rides forward under spring pressure (I released it gently using the cocking handle). Anyway, it's repeatable. Any ideas where to start looking? Last edited by tominboise; 09/30/13. Regards, Tom

DO NOT get break cleaner near the chamber seals Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Not with break cleaner or anything that is combustible. Sounds like the second stage screw backed out and isn't engaging the sear. S.W.A.G. it
