Hmm now that is interesting. Has he somehow also twisted the bolt face?

The chambering issue is a headscratcher, but first things first. When you say he 'twisted the dmd' what d'you mean exactly? Did he decock the bolt?

Does it now look like this?

Impossible The only thing that can rotate is the follower. Wish I could get my hands on it for a fettle!

Only thing I can suggest is to see if there's some way you can strip it. If it truly is buggered (and I'm struggling to see how) you've nothing to lose. When did it start failing to chamber rounds?

Can you take some photos?

Decocking can be accomplanished with a shoe lace, get the angle right and the sear is easily pulled back.

Only issue is that a good pair of boots cost more than that tool.

Right. I have a rifle made by Callum Ferguson which came with a special
Decocking tool to release spring when storing

That’s the way to strip Rem bolts out in the field.

Following this with great interest. Hopefully there'll be a good resolution. Either way I'd be very interested to know what's caused the issue.

Any news?

Maybe this will help. I’ve an A bolt myself but I’m not willing to twiddle around with it just in case I feck it up !

Seems this problem was sorted with a boot lace decades ago…

In truth, I suspect we've been subjected to a complete waste of our time on this thread
