Maybe not that critical.

It's a shooter, not a collector. To me jeweling isn't that big a negative for such a gun.

IMO.

I agree with DF. I actually like jeweling on bolt bodies. When on the extractor, it looks a little tacky though. However, for a hunting rifle, it's nice because it helps to smooth up the action. I had the bolt body jeweled on my semi custom 338wm, for function and looks.

You could always remove the jeweling from the extractor with 400 grit wet or dry sanding paper.

Yep, very easy to do. I've done it before... Not on a pre 64, but a m1917 that I had..
