George, I've sent an email to you - thanks.

Mal, I'll definitely try the magnet idea - I have a friend who can probably spare one of those hard drives. I know I've contributed a couple of dead ones myself.

But, if the magnet is that strong, how do you get it out of the tool box ...

Bulldog, maybe you're on to something. I'll ask my wife to jiggle, and see if that helps ... can't hurt.

Walter, I think you may be right. Wouldn't surprise me that carbon and other debris are the source of much of the problem. Not to mention possibly contributing to the undependable performance of the rifle lately.

Thanks for all the help. As you can imagine, I was really 'talking' to that bolt last night.
