    Model 70 light strike issue

    After stripping all the grease off, re-fitting the spring retainer I oiled and wiped everything down, put a tiny dab of grease on the safety camming surface of the firing pin, and another tiny dab of grease on the cocking piece surfaces it seems to have cured my problem.

I’ve shot about 90 rounds over the last 5 years of multiple brands of ammunition and had several instances of very shallow primer dents sometimes with ignition but several times no ignition. Yesterday was cold out here and I had three...
