[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2485013, member: 71817"] Back in the early 70's I bought a new, in the box and wrappings Sako military rifle in 30-06. Heavy with cosmoline. I cleaned it up and took it out with my hunting reloads and immediately had light primer strikes/misfires like your photos. Took it to my gunsmith buddy who said a Sako won't do that. He put the bolt into a solvent tank for a week. Blew it dry with compressed air gave it back to me to try. my first shot was a misfire. No more misfires after that. I never had the bolt disassembled. But I did spray it out with carb cleaner and more compressed air. The rifle has been a reliable performer for 40+ years. I had it sporterized. Since your rifle was new I'd vote for junk in your bolt first. [/QUOTE]
