BLR 81 bolt catching on hammer
I noticed the same thing for the first time last fall -- I could have taken your pictures. I bought my 308 new around 1987 and it has been a great rifle. I do not really feel the bolt "catching" on the hammer unless I operate the action very slowly. My instincts tell me that either a spring in the hammer assembly is getting tired or more likely a pine needle or something has worked its way in behind the hammer. Unfortunately, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking this gun apart. I am kind of obsessive about equipment being perfect so I will probably want to have it fixed if possible. I'll be very interested to hear how you make out. Thanks.
