Hey all,
New to the forum and have an issue which doesn't seem to have been discussed yet. I recently acquired a new-to-me M95/30 in 8x56R that has a (hopefully) minor issue. When a round is fired, the bolt moves rearward about 1/8 inch. I have fully disassembled the bolt and cleaned all cosmoline from it as well as the inside of the receiver/chamber. Having a difficult time determining whether the locking lugs begin to disengage at this point (which would render the rifle dangerous to fire) or if it is simply caused by a worn extractor tail, reworked electropenciled matched bolt, etc...
Any help is truly appreciated and please see pics below!
