Bolt sleeve lock problem

Hellraiser

Well-known member
So,

I have this K98 with mismatched bolt.

The bolt sleeve is too far from the action, resulting in bolt closing problems due to the lock not being fully engaged.

Is there a simple fix for this?

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,
Johan
 
Be sure that the bolt sleeve is screwed on as far as it will go, and also check the threads on both bolt and sleeve.

Thanks, but bolt is assembled the way it should and fully matching.
Just missing an extra mm, maybe 2 on the lock pin to function reliably.

Ok gotcha. Hmmm without the pin being broken I can’t think of why it would be short of contact with the bolt forward, handle up. Is it possible that there is muck in the grooves in the receiver for the bolt lugs?
