I was once running my hunting loads through a Win Model 70, when to my surprise the bolt handle ended up in my hand with a live round in the chamber. The solder joint failed. I drove out to the range figuring I would just pull the trigger and mail it back to Winchester. No way a Winchester fires with the bolt unlocked. Had to take it to the gunsmith with a live round down the tube. He removed the round and sent the gun back to Winchester for repairs.
