[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 205390, member: 2736"] Lance First remove the shroud and the sear from the firing pin and spring assembly. (Very tough if you dont have the right tool). Then place the firing pin and spring assembly in the bolt and see if it protrudes any more than before. If not then simply take .004 or .005 off the face of the firing pin stop. Reassemble and test fire, if it is still not enough dissassemble and repeat the process a few thousandth at a time. If you have another rifle that does fine then you can also measure how many thousandth the firing pin protrudes on it and use this for a maximiun length. "A WORD OF CAUTION" go slow because if it protrudes to much then it will pierce the primers (Not Good). J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
