I recently purchased a used (2004) CZ 550 Lux in 6.5x55. It's a beautiful rifle and shoots great... but there's a huge problem with getting a round to chamber. The bolt will go forward about 80% of the way, then get stuck and I'll have to ram it really hard to push the round forward all the way and get the bolt to close. Bolt cycles fine without a live round in there, but I've tried various brands of ammo and handloaded brass and it just doesn't feed well.
I contacted CZ about it, but they said since it's more than 5 years old it's no longer covered under warranty.
So here's what I'm wondering:
1. Is this an easy fix I can handle myself? I'm an amateur tinkerer at best.
2. Is there a certain smith that you guys would recommend I send this to?
3. Or should I just send it to CZ and pay them to fix it?
Thanks guys.
