Removed the barrel. Commercial Win 243 case with a flat primer.
Used a brass punch to remove the bolt. first couple of inches was easy then jammed. One of the front lugs on the bolt had sheared from rear to front and lodged against the bolt body and receiver. Drove the bolt out and found the remains of the lug.
Put the bbl back at about 10 deg off original and glued a 'do no shoot-overpressure' onto the receiver.
Anyone have a 788 Bolt for sale?
Anyone need a 243 788 Mag, stock, or barrel?
