Folks,
I'm new to this section forums and I usually hang out in the 1903 area. However, I'm cleaning up a Remington 511 in my spare time which brings me to my question. My bolt has a (what I consider) very heavy bolt lift during the cocking motion. Is this typical of the 500 series rifles? I don't have another to compare it to, but it seems quite excessive to me. I've had it apart and cleaned, polished the rotating/bearing surfaces, and lubricated the moving parts. I would appreciate any comments or thoughts.
