one thing that comes to mind is if someones fiddled with the trigger they could have wound on too much seer engagement and it's causing upward pressure on the bolt
just taking a guess so don't take my word for it. hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in soon

Thanks guys for all the input, problem solved! Now to go put a couple hundred rounds through it

do a few tests to make sure the trigger is all safe and "that"

Better to happen at the range than swinging it around in the field with your buddies at least.
