[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 904790, member: 9551"] I have had the primer blow back in my face on a Model 70 built in their first year, 1939. I was wearing glasses so I see OK but their were several pieces of hot metal melted into the lens. The glasses were junk so the shroud improved is appreciated. I own several Model 70s both longspring Mauser extractor and push feed. As the Winchester engineers intended, it is easier to get a pushfeed to shoot. I like the longspring extractor for long magnum cartridges which are loaded to the max. What cartridge do you have in mind? What is your magazine length? [/QUOTE]
