The real possibility, is that the action may be positioned slightly different than before cleaning. Take it out and reseat it. Bedding can make a big difference and will keep that from happening again. There is also the possibility that your rifle likes to have a fouled bore. Have seen that a time or two.
He did clean it from the bore end and I did have the barrel cut and recrowned. As I mentioned, when we looked at the bore it apeared that 1 of the rifelings was wore down. I thought he may have pushed the rod to one side several times and damaged it.
