[QUOTE="jonoMT, post: 216707, member: 9463"] [b]None to thrilled with the Tubbs speedlock[/b] I ordered one in for my Rem .308 short action, along with two sets of the Final Finish kit. I got only one of the kits (although I wasn't charged for the second) and the firing pin was a disappointment. So was the customer service department, which I called three times to finally "resolve" the issues with my order. When I inserted the firing pin into the cocking piece (without the spring) the holes where the cross pin goes didn't line up. The end of the firing pin was .016 too long. I was also concerned that the tip of the firing pin protrudes .022 farther past the bolt face than the factory firing pin. After finally speaking to the tech this morning, I was nonchalantly advised that some of the pins in a run or two had run a bit long and just to take a sander to the end. Well, being aluminum, it wasn't that hard to taper it down and make it fit but if it was my company I'd say send it right back and we'll exchange it. He assured me that the extra length on the tip of the firing pin is by design. [/QUOTE]
