Barnard trigger problem?

[Falfan2017]

I have a Barnard p with Barnard trigger for f open. It’s got a few thousand rounds on it since I’ve owned it and I don’t know how many the original owner put on it.
At a match I had a few successful shots then one went off as I was closing the bolt.

After that the trigger would follow the bolt. I tried adjusting the trigger sear engagement and pull force. It worked for a few dry fires then would revert to going off while closing the bolt or following the bolt. The bolt also feels really gritty and difficult to open which it didn’t before. The. The trigger just started feeling mushy and not really breaking at all.
Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks

Probably dirty inside. Take it apart and clean it.

Do not forget to check the entire firing pin assembly.

Alternatively, wash it our in a container of gasoline with a couple of teaspoons of lubricating oil.

Wash with Lighter Fluid .
As John said , check the cap on the back of the bolt ,
Clean the firing Pin while your at it .

I have a couple bolts including a new one and they both did the same. I think it’s trigger related.

I’ll try to clean it thoroughly hope that helps

I chased what I thought was a trigger issue for weeks. Stripped the bolt and found the cocking piece "grub screw" had backed out. Fix that and trigger fixed itself....
Good luck
