[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1245244, member: 1290"] The rule of thumb on firing pins is .010" shorter than the diameter of the firing pin. A high pressure round can run a little less. I like to see a min of .055" to .065" max best reliability. I couldn't tell you the compressed length of the firing pin spring without measuring it. Stick to factory firing pin and springs and you should have any ignition issues unless your protrusion length is too short. [/QUOTE]
