Federal Ordinance
My Dad recently found a Federal Ordinance KAR 98 chambered in 7.62/.308 he forgot he had. It goes bang when a round is chambered and the trigger is pulled. From what I have read Federal Ordinance was the Century Arms of the 1960's and QC might be suspect.
The concern I have is in regards to the bolt. The bolt in this rifle engages the chamber as it should, however when the bolt is disengaged to load a round there is a substantial amount of play. This play amounts to 1/2" to 3/4" left/right and up/down.
I seem to recall that Mauser's actions had pretty tight tolerances, so the questions is whether this play in the action is dangerous or normal for KAR 98.
