Picked up a 1957 vintage 94 with a possible issue

I'm new to the Winchester 94 but when I found this well used gun for a decent price I bought it. I've put about 4-6 boxes through it and noticed yesterday after shooting some Federal factory 170gr ammo and examining the brass that all of the fired cases have the primer backed out about .008" or so. The Remington factory 150gr show a few with primer standing slightly proud. Before I order a No-Go field gauge I thought I would ask a Newbie question here ... is this normal for this rifle and if not what do I need, get anew locking bolt?
