I'm looking at this rifle and its bad trigger pull, I dissembled the bolt and trigger assy's and stoned the mateing surfaces of trigger and sear
the back of the striker wobbles up & down when the trigger is worked and contemplating how to take up the freeplay.

the wobble of the back end the bolt drops as much as 3/32" while pulling the trigger thru both stages, I'm thinking about a method to reduce the excessive free-play of the back end the bolt, mabe fitting some brass shim stock to support the bottom back end the bolt inside the receiver tang epoxying brass shim stock,J-B weld the area up and file to fit, worse case senario is tig welding up the area's that most the freeplay occors and re-heat treating?
am right now swapping out parts to see if it would reduce freeplay,
The trigger pin/sear side play is not the main problem, its the designed open tolerences allowing for battle field conditions and the wide rangeing
bolt drop to sear release.
