My wife's 1948 Vintage '94 Winchester 30-30 has a problem.
It sticks on extraction.
Not a reloading problem, I can recreate the issue, by pressing rearward on the bolt with my fingers and trying to open the action.
Simply working the action without firing, everything is smooth.
I've had it apart down to the last screw, and I don't see anything wrong.
(Not my first '94)
Where should I be looking? I must be blind!

Yup, had that happen on an old '94 I was building up from parts, that time I had too short a screw in the hole. (Don't even think about that line ) But not this time.
I took it apart once more, and stoned the back of the bolt (Carefully), the
slides for the bolt stop, and a small nick on the front of the bolt stop. I think I feel an improvement. Have to go back to the range to check.
I just can't get over feeling it should be obvious. But I can't find it.

Interesting, was it loose, or was it not snapping the carrier down in such a fashion as to not allow the bolt to the rear?
It wouldn't have been obvious to me either.
