    A little clarification....are you saying the bolt won't stay foward with a round in the chamber, or with an empty chamber or it dosen't stay foward when fired (ouch)?

    Is the breach face of the bolt locking down into position or is it stuck and keeps springing back? I don't know anything about this peticular rifle but I had a bolt action with a very similar problem and the rotating lug on the end of the bolt that locked into the breach of the chamber would not rotate and lock and it would spring back open, perhaps you might check it for some rust or lack of lube or something and see if that helps.
