I recently obtained a Winchester M1917, its in great shape...a little dark due to years of oiling and etc. I plan on giving the stock a good cleaning and very light sanding and re-oiling with linspeed oil as I did on my M1Aicon.

However, I noticed that the bolt action doesn't seem to be as smooth as I would think. And even though I gave it a good oiling, it just seems a bit rough instead of smooth like my model 70.
I don't see anything hanging it up, any suggestions or ideas?

thanks
Rob
