Sorry to hear this....most times the Browning is a good bet. your rifle is probably suffering from a bit of neglect in the cleaning department. as with the 7400, they are a bit of a pain until you are familiar with the disassembly process. The little bolt catch can sometimes be a trouble maker. You might try dropping the trigger group and going at all you can see with Gun Scrubber, blow it out and apply rem Oil then blow that out. Hopefully, no one has taken it apart and bent the action rods; which I doubt. Be sure that you dont get the scrubber on the wood; most times it is safe but I did have it try to lift the finish on one gun. Also check to see that it is not tryng to catch on the mag when coming forward.
