Send the bolt and barreled action to Long rifles Inc. They can fix it.

Dan's instructions state that he does not need to action if you are able to make the measurements. I sent him an email describing my problem and am waiting for him to answer.

Talked to Dan again today. He gave me instructions on the phone that I could understand. He also is going to send me a detailed set of written instructions.

Problem was that my bolt was stuck so tightly, that in attempting to get it out of the receiver, I bent it the handle and lifted part of it off the bolt body. He then instructed me to use a vice and press the handle back to touch the receiver, so I could take the measurements he needed. In doing that the bolt handle broke completely off the bolt. I now have to call him again to see what to do next.

What were the measurements he wanted?

Butch I am going to give it another try and call him today. I have five bolts I would like to have fixed. I have one rifle I can only use Winchester brass. Lapua gets stuck and I have to use a hammer to get the bold to open.

This is 100% what is happening to me with Lapua brass.... Did you ever figure this out?
