I wanted to ask any ATR .270 owners if they have the same thing happen or something may be wrong with just my .270. When I fire my rifle or dry fire, the bolt lift increases 4 fold I have to guess. Does anyone else experience this or should I take it in ? If I don't fire I can lift with a...

You offered plenty. I've now learned to take my bolt apart. Learned a bit on a bolt stop. Yup, Plenty helpful. I'll be lurking. Didn't I see you over at a Ithaca forum also?

Understandable ...Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have it looked at locally as this gun is 3 yrs old now and I don't think I have anything coming from them. Let me ask this. I need to develop a load and hunt in 2 weeks. In your best opinion. Is it hurting anything major if I continue as is. Or better yet any safety issues here?

Hope this helps someone else along the way. I couldn't find reference to it. I stumbled on this by accident. Disassemble ATR 100 bolt. The back of the bolt ( mine anyway) has to be pulled open and turned 180 counter clock wise and the top end of the bolt pops open giving you the firing...

Got it Ignore last pot.

Gave it a few good cracks using the flat side of an old drill bit and hammer and no budge. Does this take a serious blow to move it ? I can feel it moving slightly between my fingers if I move/jiggle the bolt head, if that makes any sense. Just walking easy as to not make a small problem bigger.

Thanks. Before I assume to much is the head ass. pin tapped out ?

Thanks all. Been trying to find some documentation or video on disassembling the bolt So I could have a look. Looking at the diagram in the manual it doesn't seem to hard. I'm goin in. :)

Thanks for the welcome. Bolt cycles freely before pulling trigger. The bolt slides to open and close fine all the time,even after a trigger pull the slide is fine. It's simply to lift the bolt that's much much harder to operate after a trigger pull.

Hello all, First post here. I have a ATR 100 .270. All of a sudden after firing ( live or dry) I have to apply a bunch more pressure to lift the bolt. Again this happens even with a dry fire so it isn't a pressure issue with ammo. As to how much pressure, if it takes 2 lbs to lift it it takes...
