I just finished working on a new left handed 9.3 x 62 for a friend.
Just as described above, the bolt was a bit rougher I suspect than the op, but some football games on TV and working and polishing on a buffing wheel helped that.
The trigger can be adjusted to a very good (3 lb) pull, and crisp, but when you get it perfect, the safety will not engage. So you need to compromise a bit.
I put a hidden crossbolt under the flat (it had no cross bolts) and bedded the lug and rear. I also made sure the bbl was free floated. It was close anyway, so I took a bit out of the channel. I should have bedded the entire action, because there is a slight gap between the wood and rails of the action that does not look good. Maybe next time I mix a batch, I will clean that up.
Another funny issue was that the ejector spring kept "coming apart" and causing the ejector to act up - never seen such a thing. I alcohol cleaned it up and used some Loctite on it and it has stayed since.
Put a low vaiable scope on steel Millet bases with Burris Signature Zee rings (needed a shim of the rings tho with the old Weaver variable to get it to adjust high enough)
285 gr Privi RN over RL15 at 2360 ft/sec gave nice cloverleaves at 50 yds. As it is left handed, and I cant stand to shoot it with the cheek piece, I left it alone for my friend to fine tune.
Nice rifle.
Very trim bbl, I must admit. Balances nice. Wood is plain but straight grained. Finish is as mentioned - thin.
My friend was happy to find a left handed 9.3 x 62 that was afforable.
