[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 180514, member: 10"] I had a customer bring me a rifle that he had just sent off to get hot caustic blued. The rifle shot great before sending it off and shot great after but it was now piercing every primer when shot with the same load that had worked perfectly before. What was the cause, the smith blued the entire striker assembly as a unit, including spring. Talk about weakening the spring!!! after 5 minutes and a replaced striker spring the rifle was performance as it has previously. Yes, a very weak stiker spring can cause pierced primers but it is not common to see and a heavier firing pin spring will generally not solve the cratering problem in a bolt with a large firing pin hole that is cratering.
