Seekins PH3

Here’s a pic of two of my bolt. If I cycle the bolt from straight on, or near the handle stem, it’ll cycle just ok. Use the handle and it’s bad. I can pretty much lock it up against the side of the action. You can see the wear line in the bolt and where it appears to bind on the action just behind the safety. I’ve left a voicemail with Seekins to get their take. I know others have had good experiences with their customer service so I’ll wait and see what they have to say.

Yeah, your action seems to have some fubar in it. I think seekins sends out just as many turds as many mfrs but they just seem to offer a better experience than most in dealing with them.

Just in handling a few off the rack ph3s, if my memory isn't playing tricks on me some have felt slick and some felt like crap.

This. First PH3 I played with at Missoula Scheels was super slick. I was thinking about picking one up.

Saw one locally and it wasn’t smooth at all.

Mine was a bit sticky but after lots of cycling on the couch and 300+ rounds, it now smooth with no binding. Agree with others about the single round feeding issues. The round needs to be slanted up and finger pushed to get it started. I tried to be not over critical on the cf mag but it still sucks. I have the mag spacer from Seekins but haven't purchased a steel mag.
