hi everybody
after waiting weeks for my variation i finally got my rifle (parker hale in 308) and went out this evening to sight it in. only to find it struggles to feed the rounds in. on closer inspection at home it seems the extractor claw is very tight. viewing from underneath the bolt when you slide an empty case in the extractor claw seems to move apart a fair way. on some of the rounds i had to wiggle the bolt handle slightly to get the case to slide up behind the extractor claw.
also i have noticed on the empty cases that i can see rifleing for about 1 mm on the case end is this right
regards pj
