[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1793056, member: 2736"] Nothing like being thrown undercthe bus...eh JE.... I have had to replace springs in two rifles...7rum Remington and 260rem ruger..which was not hitting the primer hard enuf to ignite.....both factory springs...and boy were they ugly...kinked so bad they scratching on the pins....got new heavier ones from midway and both rifles back to shooting....just another piece of equipment you have to keep watch on......[/QUOTE] No problem :cool: One of the problems with many firing pin springs is the ID is to big for the pin diameter allowing the spring to "Snake" rubbing the inside of the bolt causing drag and slowing lock time and reducing the effective spring tension. I personally prefer the aftermarket springs because they have more, small coils that produce the right amount of compression and fit the firing pin better. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
