[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 55201, member: 25"] Jon, Winchester puts a glob of bedding material in the lug recess and possibly in the area of the tang. The newest material that they are using is black and sets up very hard. The earlier material was yellowish and more glue-like, it was usually not really hard to the touch. I suggest that you put a hair dryer on the reciever area for several minutes and heat up the metal, then try to rock the action very slightly until it can be lifted straight up. Assuming that you have all three action bolts removed the barreled receiver should come out. The M-70 trigger is easily lightened, just back off the two little nuts a bit at a time. Check the final setting by slamming the bolt shut, ensure that the firing pin stays cocked. Suggest try to get it to about 3 lbs anything below that get a gunsmith to do. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
