Can anyone check if this is typical?
On a pre-64 Winchester Model 70, I close the bolt and put the safety to intermediate position.
I then open the bolt.
If I push the safety to fire, the firing pin moves forward a bit, but NOT fully forward to fire. [edited; previously this post said the trigger goes off but that’s wrong]
This is not the case with the modern Model 70. On that one, when the bolt is open, I cannot move the safety.
Thanks
