*HELP* BAT ACTION Model B

[Paynerd]

While I was out shooting my rifle, I cycled my bolt and it came all the way out (as if I was pushing the bolt release button). It seems to do that every time I cycle a round now. It's not a very old action (2 years). I used compress air in the bolt release button to see if there was anything preventing it from working and it seemed clean. The spring seems to be doing its job but maybe not enough. Is there a way to replace the spring in there? Or take it apart to clean? Is that bolt release button pressed in? I'm at a loss with this....

With bolt out can you look down the inside of the action and see the bolt release protruding ? You should be able to see the little catch. If not I'd say some dirt or grime is preventing it from protruding fully. You can knock the pin out of the bolt release and slightly stretch the spring to help it engage more. I've had powder kernels get in them before and do this.

Probably just got a little crud behind it. You might try rinsing it out with lighter fluid while working it back and forth.

I'm 99% a powder kernel is in there even though it feels fine. Is there something that would dissolve it (like lighter fluid"?

My stop pin fell out the bottom once and the button was cockeyed and wouldn't stop the bolt.
I took it off the stock to get it back in place.
I kinda put a head on it beatting a tad, put it back in the top side.

You could try that and work it some to see if it would break up

I got it figure out!! I took the stock off, there's a set screw with a long stem that holds everything in place. I saw that it was a tad loose. Tightened it up and I'm Back Jerry!!! Thanks for your help everyone!!
