MArlin 917 17 HMR
« on: August 02, 2008, 04:22:01 PM »
Does anyone know how to check the bolt on this rifle.  It has quit firing and the firing pin seem okay.  However, it appears that when the bolt is open and pulled back the bolt is cocked, but it uncocks as the bolt is closed.   Should this be taken to a gunsmith or can anyone give me a place to start checking this out?

Thanks
