Bolt Disassembly: Classic vrs. Modern Econo-Bolts, "Progress", really?

[flmason]

Have been researching the modern bolt guns a little... I find myself asking... "How in the heck did they get so complicated and full of finicky little parts since the 98 and Mosing, geez, this is 'progress'".

Even the M77 has some crock o' crap parts to it's procedure. Specifically separating the spring from the firing pin.

I dunno, I think the best thing they could do is add modern bedding to the old designs, do them in stainless or even titanium and call it good. These new ones look like nightmares.

Your thoughts?

Have a look:
