I just received my Grandfathers bring back M1. I disassembled and cleaned the bolt, cleaned the chamber, and placed the no-go gauge in. It closed with no effort. Same with the field. It closes without the least bit of resistance. The rifle is in good condition otherwise. I have a feeling I am doing something wrong. The gauge is a Forster. Any ideas before I drop $100 on a bolt? I have also read that it is safe to fire regardless. I don't really buy into that, but again, does anybody have input on firing anyway? Thanks.
