need help with my 7 mag, since it freezes alot up here in Ak...and i forced it open one too many times...the bolt moved up, but froze...and will not go back down or move backwards to open....

the barrel also says 'action made in belgium'....

i live in Ak, it's hard to get it to a gunsmith....so, is there anyway i can fix this myself...can i get teh bolt out someway?....if i do, where can i get the new bolt or whatever i need?....

anywhere i can send it?....

Only thing I can think of would be to spray some kroil down the bore so it will settle in the chamber and spray some on the bolt and let sit overnight. Hopefully it will free it up enough to open, After you get it open I would make sure your chamber is smooth, you may need to polish it. Then, I would completely disassemble the bolt and degrease it. Apply a light oil very sparingly to the parts that need it and reassemble. Hopefully this will help.
