Thread: Recommended Bergara Gunsmith?

The mechanism is almost identical to the Ruger 10/22.

It was my first time cleaning a rifle ever. I think I messed up the recoil spring guide rod on a BXR (#9-11). As I was cleaning the rod I accidentally sprung the bolt handle (#11) off the guide rod (#9). Lost a C-clip on the barrel end of the rod (#9). Had it replaced and was then able to reassemble the rifle. But then noticed that the C-clip would dislodge as the bolt recoiled. I think I am now missing a piece that should have held the c-clip onto the end of the rod.

I've also since noticed that the (1) bolt doesn't glide as well, (2) is difficult to unlock from it's rear position, and (3) the recoil spring guide rod is wobbly on the barrel end.

Will drop it off at the gunsmiths and see what he says
