[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1266798, member: 77249"] With the rifle being 50 years old. Not knowing if the gun set around for years cocked I would suggest you have the Firing Pin Spring Checked, It may need to be replaced. I got my dad's 1950's 722 Rem. It would actually pop out the firing pin dent in the primer and smoke came out of the bolt. A new firing pin spring and it went back to shooting less than 1" groups like it did in 1962 when I went to the Army. It was not the barrel washed out, It was the firing pin spring. Good Luck in this project. [/QUOTE]
