I suppose I have a sickness because I picked up another used M70 today that I had been seeing on a rack for quite a while. It is blue/wood 300 WM with a BOSS and seems to be very lightly used. The extractor is quite tight and is somewhat difficult to move around when the bolt is removed. It also offers noticeable resistance when the bolt is opened or closed. I removed the firing pin assembly to make sure the resistance had nothing do do with that. None of my other M70's has anywhere near as much resistance as does this one. Is this something that will easily wear in to become easier or is there anything I need to do to it? It is quite usable now, but I would like it a little slicker.
The rifle is serial number G92XXX. Does anyone know the year of manufacture?
