[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 68751, member: 11"] [b]Re: My Ruger M77 (w/rear tang safety) bolt dosen\'t move smoothly.[/b] I just tried loosening the rear two screws and that didn't fix anything but it was right after this I discovered what the problem was. It was the extractor clip after all. I had ruled out the clip that goes around the bolt because it gets smeary before the clip goes into the rear bridge(?) of the receiver. [i]Well...[/i] It turns out that the part of the receiver that also forms the mag lips comes in contact with this same clip just barely and rubs from this point back. I have looked for this problem on and off for months and tonight I was determined to find it and deal with it. I'm glad this hunt is over. Next question. What would someone charge me for a new clip and an install or a new clip and some [i]correct[/i] install instructions?. I don't want to over stretch the spring clip again but it would be nice if I could save on shipping the gun as well. [/QUOTE]
