Hello,
I just got a reising last year and after the first shooting, I discovererd the bolt was cracked on one side of the rear from the slot. I got another bolt and it works very good, although I hade a time getting the extractor transfered and a new extractor bolt. I just got a spring kit from wolfe springs and now I have no trouble cocking and chambering a round, before it would take two fingers of both hands. Looking forward to shoot this to try out the new springs.
I was gonna contact Paul Hayes about another bolt, but don't want to trouble him if he is still ill. Does anybody know if he is well yet?
