[QUOTE="crrcboatz, post: 2830271, member: 32702"] That is a NICE piece of wood for a less than $200 rifle. I had one of them also and thought the wood on it was especially nice but boy you got lucky to say the least. I took the road of sanding off the checkering all together. Lots of work but results were good. Also filled the pores and went with a hand rubbed finish mixture my dad used for years. It is now my grand son's rifle. I will say that in addition to what you did to correct the extraction issues were needed for mine also. My gunsmith said the chamber was milled pretty tight to so he tweaked it for me. I also polished the bolt to almost mirror shine and did the same with the receiver area it runs on. That has made the little gun run as smooth or better than my 700 Remy. Gunsmith said zastavas need this attention as they possess lots of little sharp edges in the action. Mine shot as good as I could shoot it. Friends loved its accuracy and look. [/QUOTE]
