A Sako question

[tedog]

My friend as a Sako L461, Ser. # 110xxx. When you work the bolt and pull it to the rear, it some times comes out of the receiver. I took the bolt stop off, cleaned it and checked for wear, everything appears fine. Does anyone know what would cause this? Or anyone I can contact? Thanks

It probably is a stuck release or weak spring in the bolt release. Go here for an exploded view. Make sure the bolt release returns after depressing to release the bolt. It may need some good oil like kroil or REM oil in the assembly.
