Is my bolt head stamp # supposed match the rest of my rifle for numbers matching?

IMG_1056.jpeg

1. No problems with dry firing and working the action when a cartridge is not present
2. unable to close the bolt with snap cap or live round
3. extractor does not work when I go to clear malf mentioned in #2 above
4. If i remove bolt, manually insert cartridge on bolt face, reinsert bolt, #2 occurs but extractor ejects cartridge.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Yes, They would have originally been numbered to the rifle, but they are a frequently missing or m/m part.

It could be a bunch of different things; dirty chamber, bolt head/extractor issue, etc...

I'd start by really thoroughly cleaning the chamber. I've had a few rifles over the years with this problem.

If it's something else, I'm sure someone in here will help.
 
There is different number on bolt head, so probably mixed in time even parts of bolt?. Cleaning and oiling could help.
