[QUOTE="tacoma2002, post: 5826544, member: 22551"] Update - I disassembled the bolt completely - no oil or grime present but I ran it through the cleaner anyway. I inspected and unpinned the trigger assembly and ran the entire assembly through the cleaner and it left a nasty brown/yellow film in the solution. The exterior appeared clean upon removal but I noted damage to the bolt stop, but should not have caused the issue that I experienced. I lubed firing pin assembly and trigger assembly with lighter fluid only. I reassembled and froze the entire barreled action overnight. This morning everything functions as intended. I assume the trigger assembly was freezing allowing the trigger to hang and not engage the sear. I will be replacing the trigger assembly with something else this spring. [/QUOTE]
