Bought my 7-08 M70 Fwt in 2009. Used it this past November. Short hunt--3 days--with no precip. Put gun away (with humidifier) and was suprised to see rust on the bolt a few weeks ago. Cleaned it up but discovered that trigger pull was at around 6-7# from the 3.5# that it was from the factory. Took trigger out and gave it a long soak in Kroil--no difference. Weird how it changed that dramatically. Assumed that the rust on the bolt was somehow related to trigger pull. Don't see how to open case, so I've decided to go Timney route. Wanted less than 3.5# anyhow.


Murphy was a grunt.
