I received an old one in 308 from 81. The bolt looks broken and wont "grab" the end of the round. I did not pay for this rifle but it came from family and is sentimental so I would like to keep it and repair it if possible. I will post a couple pics to see if any of you experts can see something wrong right off the bat. Looks damaged to me.

Definitely chipped extractor.
With the bolt removed, will a cartridge slide in and back out of the chamber without effort?
I had an extractor chip on a 1100 shotgun and the chip evidently entered the chamber and made a tiny ding in the chamber. After replacing the extractor a shell would slide in easy but hang.
My gunsmith had to remove the tiny ding in the edge of the chamber to correct the shell hanging.
