okay well i don't know than
the silver V is up against the bolt and the bolt hold it forward and is under a small amount of spring tension
and a new bolt that might be your fix

Mine did that but my bolt didn't have an o-ring nor was it cut for one. I replaced the bolt with one that had an o-ring and my handle no longer flops up. Maybe try replacing the o-ring or putting a little silicone oil on it.

Just tried some silicon oil, but to no avail. I have two 717s and both do this. Not always but often. I have a 777 also, but it does not do this. They just kind of lift the handle, which takes little effort. I am not sure if it matters.

even though i put a little grease on the bolt any lube will make it looser
the fact is there is very little holding it down but what is causing it rotate is odd

What he said. If it is shooting well, velocity is what it is supposed to be and the bolt is NOT coming back I would not worry about it.

My bolt does the same thing, softly after firing, and does not come back, I do not worry about that

It stopped doing it today. I did oil it yesterday, and it was still doing it, but it has stopped for now. I ran 5 shots through the chrono, and they were all above 380 with the first being just over 390 fps. I may take a center punch and make a couple of divots in the bolt where it won't be noticed. That might provide some friction to stay in place.

power level is great, the bolt is behaving just shoot it
in the future buy a new bolt and or any parts that could be use in the future
the parts are drying up and take care of the rear sight there are no more

Yes, I tried purchasing one on ebay last year. Turned out the seller had used a picture of a good one and sent one with a broken rear sight. I quickly contested it and he paid for shipping back plus my refund. If you an find a 777 it has a metal sight, one of the best I have seen. I had purchased several using ebay with no problems, 777, 747 and one 717. Built up a series for myself here in Texas and my son & grandson in Ms so we would have enough to have some matches in either place. Stripped all down, new seals, orings, and valves throughout, and adjusted.
