Something I never knew before:
My 112v always had a hard bolt opening I have fired 120 rounds through it
It chambered fine and shot "ok" but you really had to smack the bolt to open it.
I put it back in the safe as a "later" project.
I recently bought a Hornady headspace guage set. Turns out my fired cases are .007
below min spec.Whoever put the barrel on really must have cranked it or use a worn guage
I got it to a Savage authorized service center here and he reset the barrel. Now the front scope mounting block pointsto
2:30 instead of 12.
Just goes to show you it can happen.
