My last BRNO (.270) was 45 years ago...so maybe memory is fading a bit...but in the photo of the bolt with case sitting in it, there seems to be a lot of space between the rear of the case and the bolt face. I can see a lot of space/shadow back there.
Almost as though the extractor claw is clamped in nicely, but stopping the case from seating right back on the bolt face.
Or is that just a camera angle giving a false impression?
How about the bottom lug on the bolt...does the front action screw come up into the lug area and that screw too long (or stretched from years of being heaved tight) is jamming on the outer area of that bottom lug? That outer area is hidden by the extractor claw when you remove the bolt. Spin the claw out of the way and check the lug for gouges?
