[QUOTE="liltank, post: 470416, member: 13275"] Something else you can try, and this was suggested and I made the adjustments. Dry fire the rifle and see what direction the bolt body moves. If it moves in a forward direction it is okay, but if it moves forward and to the left, then you need to adjust the fire pin cocking pin. If it is moving forward and to the left then this cocking pin is contacting the front of the notch. I was told this can cause erratic accuracy. Simply allen head bolt loose in the back of the bolt that holds it together. Remove the firing pin assembly and back it off a couple turns. One thing you can do so you are not putting it together and tearing it apart, use something stiff to hold the firing pin forward so you can lift the cocking pin and see where it is in the notch. You want the cocking just shy of the notch. Each turn is about .010" per notch. Also measure the protrusion of the firing pin through the bolt face. It should only be between .050 and .055" from the bolt face. Any more or any less, then it needs to be adjusted by turning the spring retaining collar on the front of the firing pin. You will need to back off the tension off turning the rear collar where the cocking pin is at. Be careful you don't turn it too much as it will fly apart. It's a pain adjusting the front collar because you have to compress the spring and pull down the locking washer. PM me and we can discuss this via phone if you want. One question, have you tried reloading for this rifle? Did you take it apart at all and change the torque setting on the front locking lug of the accu-stock? Also try removing the front locking lug, some guys are doing this to increase accuracy with this rifle and using it as regular aluminum v-block. Tank [/QUOTE]
