hallo ,

i bought recently a nice Persian Mauser 98/29

during tests at the range i noticed that after each fire the bolt
was considerably "hard" to open ( by a hand but with a good effort )

.....only on open ......and without traces of overpressure ( the load
was about 44 gr of Vhita N140 under a Sierra MK HPBT 200 gr )

well, i do not know , the possible reason of it - i know this bolt load
the spring of the firing pin on open and the spring it is hard

....may be the shoulders of the receiver worn ? so on open the bolt
could have to pull forward the case

please some "Mauser spcialist" can help me ?

thank you in advance for some opinion
