LOL...I figured a lilttle bit of guilt tripping would get me a reply!!! lol. Semper Fi BROTHER!!! Thanks for the info. Guess I'll tinker with it just a bit w/o doing too much & then if that don't work take it to a gunsmith.

I'm not liking the push feed concept. I have (3) Model 70's...all giving to me by my dad, but may invest in another shooter. Gonna look into the new M-70's...do sme research. I think they have went back to the pre-64 controlled feed if I aint mistaken. I'm kinda fancing the model 70 stealth w/ the heavy barrel...just wish it had more of a selection of calibers other than the .308.
