[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 216798, member: 2736"] Another good post and a lot of discussion and opinions. I do use them but not on all rifles. Like anything to do with gunsmithing if they are not properly installed or not to spec they can cause problems. Some times the factory bolt may not be perfict as Chad pointed out and "MUST" be properly installed or problems may occur. The only time I recommend thier use is on very light rifles where movement after the trigger is pulled is most likley,on heavy rifles this is not a problem unless the shooter has a bad case of target panic and nothing will cure this but lots of practice. Also as stated some bolt shrouds move with the fireing pin and may not allow much improvement in lock time. So it would probably not be an improvement. Improving lock time is best suited to hunters/shooters with very little experience in position,follow through and shooting skills, Light weight rifles and bolt guns that only the sear moves with the pin. If I can improve a .300" group to .250" by using a light weight fireing pin I WILL .050" Doesent sound like much at 100yrds but at 1000 yrds it is. They are definitely not the magic bullet but they can improve an already good shooting rifle .( IF INSTALLED PROPERLY ). Just my 2 cents J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
