[KBF]

A few years ago my wife was shooting this 22. After firing a round she worked the bolt rearward, the bolt came out in her hand and she said something fell out on the ground. (No, not the empty case). We looked and looked but never found anything. We put the bolt back in and put it in the safe and had not fired it due to obvious situation that just occurred.

With coyote snaring season upon us, I remembered we had this gun and thought it would make a good dispatch gun. But am leery to fire a round. I have worked the action and it feels normal, bolt does not come out or seem loose.

Does anyone have any history with failures similar to this or familiar with these rifles?

May not be worth the $$ to repair, but its hard to also justify a rifle sitting laying idle.

Suggestions?
