[QUOTE="TR1Hemi, post: 2511814, member: 122752"] Apparently as I and our local CCW instructor found out. It must have been a Monday or Friday gun. I had noticed that the stamping of Savage Model 111 - 300 Win Mag blah. blah, blah. was not right down at the edge of the stock. He agreed with my theories and we used his action wrench and we got her loosened up, with not a scratch to the blueing. I dont know if they stamp, then blue, then reassemble, and just did not get it quite right but she took about 1/8th turn tighter, any more and new brass would not chamber. About 1 in 10 once fired have a slight resistance to bolt closure. I consider this perfect as the lugs are not even mated yet, they are still mostly blue in the receiver. The stamping is right down next to the stock now. Now to proceed with load D! [/QUOTE]
