[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1910324, member: 2736"] A very common problem in many rifles is the firing pin spring. It is not just the Remington that can have this problem, so if you have the same issue as shone in this video it will prevent consistent ignition and sometimes fail completely. The problem is that If the spring inside diameter is much larger than the firing pin the spring will "snake" and rub on the inside of the bolt effecting the proper function of the firing pin. This can also cause poor groups/accuracy and increase lock time. [MEDIA=youtube]L8V5TXwoVEI[/MEDIA] The Video gives you a good comparison of the proper and the improper installation. so when dissembling/cleaning your rifle if you see this condition, It will need to be corrected. This can improve your accuracy if dealt with. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
