Win M67 w/finger groove stock, drilled & tapped

I have my dad's Win M67 w/27" barrel and finger groove stock. It is drilled & tapped, but the spacing for the front (Weaver-type) mount is different from the rear. My dad says there was a scope on it at one time, but doesn't remember anything about it.

The extractor has to be pushed forward, flush w/the face of the barrel, for a 22 LR cartridge to feed straight in; is this normal?

The gun is not for sale, as it was the first gun I fired and will be the first gun my kids will fire, but I don't know if it should be specially insured.

Any info you could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks [:)]

  Hello 57rooster,
  The finger-grooved-stock Model 67 were not drilled and tapped at the factory for a scope, so the spacing difference between the front and rear was likely determined by whatever scope bases the gunsmith that did the work had on hand at the time that fit the contour of the receiver.
  
  If the rifle is functioning correctly, the extractor/ejector should not have to be pushed forward to the breach face to feed a .22L.R. cartridge. If the bullet is inserted into the chamber, and the front of the rim is against the extractor, the cartridge should feed when the bolt is closed.
