I recently bought an old beat up Spanish Mauser at a gun show for $100. Most problems were relatively easy to fix but the bolt is really giving me some trouble. It travels forward and back smoothly but when I go to lock it, i get a lot of resistance. It takes a lot of force to close the bolt. I think it is making contact somewhere in the receiver and that is making it hard to turn. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this or know what part is causing it?
