I'm pretty baffled. Got some barreled actions cerakoted. One being a compact 20" 6.5 cm. Had a 24 inch ss 6.5cm in this krg bravo. Don't remember what it was torqued too but it shot fine. Wanted to put the 24 in ss in a rokstock and put the 20in in the bravo with a lighter scope for a lighter rifle. Well I torque it down to 45in lbs with Wheeler fat wrench (manual says 65 so we aren't even close) and bolt won't open. Crap, I assumed it was the cerakote. Tried the second barreled, (20" 223) and same thing won't open. Around 30-35 they do but that's too light right? Put them both in the OEM tikka stocks at 45 in lbs and they are fine. Hmm ok maybe not the cerakote. Take my ss 24 in action and put it in the bravo and same thing, 45 inch lbs wont cycle. Back it down to around 30-35 and it cycles. I'm assuming when I set it up and shot it before it must have been around 30.
I'm so confused. I took the foreend off to make sure it was seated and torqued correctly. I have 4 Tikkas I know how critical that is. Mag spring also removed so I can use aics mags. It shouldn't be 35 in lbs off right? What am I missing?
EDIT*** PROBLEM SOLVED WAS MISSING WASHER ON REAR ACTIONSCREW DOH
