I'd take that classic, even with a bad chamber, WAY before I would buy a Portugese model 70.. Just sayin...
Ditto...

They probably have to back everything for a certain time, unfortunately for the OP, his ran out.
I have been told, automakers have to parts support their products for a certain time.



They should back it up or change their fu cking name.... Something like Portuguese Arms or something....
Well, it isn't really Winchester - it's Browning Arms Co. that owns it now.. Not sure I'd blame them for not standing behind something they had nothing to do with back in those years.. (ala Dillonbuck said)

Of course, this advice is worth exactly what you paid for it. smile

Yep - could be that... FWIW, it can also be ammo that's out of spec.. I've run into THAT a few times..
