elkhunter11, I have not disassembled the bolt. I have heard it is difficult on an A-bolt, which is why I will probably bring it to a gunsmith....and maybe have him do a few more things for me while I am in there
. I should mention that this happened during cold weather and some snow did fall from tree branches onto my action earlier in the day. I didn't think it was possible that the snow could get at my firing pin and cause it to partially stick, but perhaps that is exactly what happened.
