[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1645895, member: 60453"] Get a bottle of air like you use for computer keyboards. Spray out the action and remove any old debris. Then use a tiny amount of Rem Oil and spray the excess out. That should both clean and lube it without leaving excess oil to attract dirt. If you know a good gunsmith, you might have him disassemble the action and check for wear. He could also replace any marginal parts. As to sear engagement, close the bolt on an empty chamber, and do a drop test. Do it with the safety engaged and with it disengaged. Drop the rifle on its butt several times from about 3 or 3.5 feet. See if it fires when the safety is taken off. Do this several times. Then do the drop test with the rifle cocked and the safety off. If the sear isn't jarred loose, the trigger and safety are working properly. This test should be conducted if you adjust the trigger pull, too. If the fireing pin isn't released by the impact of the rifle it won't be accidentally released by normal use. [/QUOTE]
