Bolt looseness in 1916 spanish 7x57

[remus]

I have a 1916 spanish that has a seemingly loose bolt. Jiggles in the rifle when not under the pressure of the cocking spring. It is not loose when an empty is in the chamber, bolt closed and not cocked. Seems tight.

Is there a problem there? Not sure how to treat this rifle. I have shot some really mild loaded rounds through it but I am concerned about putting full power 7x57 stuff though it.

Waddaya think about this?
