M99 extraction problem
« on: May 23, 2008, 11:10:53 AM »
Hi All  first time question
I recently picked up a M99 in 308 at a gun show.  It is a late model #"A687xxx".
It does not extractor properly.  It will pull the shell out about half way and release it.
I had the extractor replaced and the chamber polished  but it still is a problem.  The extractor just does not hold onto the rim.
Loading seems a little off also putting a round in the magazine is not as easy as I would have thought like the magazine does not line up.
I also noticed that the magazine counter seems top be off not showing the number one until there is 2 rounds in the magazine.
and last  is the bolt supposed to be flush with the action(in the rear) or down a little.

My smith has done all he can  he did tell me that he was able to close the action on his "no-go" gage :(

any help or recommendation for a M99 expert gun smith.  I live in Rawlins, WY.

Thanks
