Apparently fixed.
Took the bolt apart and hosed everything down with solvent. Didn't chase out any small animals but did come out with some dirty patches. Checked main spring length against another Mauser and it looks about the same. Firing pin tip looks good. Put it all back together and now we have protrusion. Set off a couple of empty primed cases with authority. Not entirely sure what was the original issue.
Now it's back to the range.
