Granted they just fell out the front since there was no barrel to really force the round all the way up into the claw extractor but everything felt smooth to me

I heard some claimed they were rough but I’ve built loads for 12 MRC 99’s long and short and haven’t seen a rough one yet! Should be easy to hone and polish. GLWS.

If I were left handed I'd have bought this as soon as it hit the classifieds I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I’m glad you got it and will be anxious to see what you build. I’m thinking a 424-350 RM would be a dandy. 😁 Kind of a short action, belted 404 Jeffery. Best of luck with whatever you build. mart Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
