Winchester 94, 30-30, 1973 vintage. Just your average beater, pick up, saddle scabbard gun. Used on a ranch it's entire life, mostly coyotes, badgers, a few mule deer and a couple elk. I came into it for a very good price and it works very well, accurate as expected, functions with cast and jacketed in all different head stamps.
Problem:
The firing pin hole in the bolt face is worn oblong down. Firing pin strikes low on the primer.
I have been around a few of these guns over the last 60 years and I have never seen this before.
Question:
Can the bolt be bored and bushed to bring everything back to center?
