[QUOTE="Jack300WSM, post: 2823260, member: 107882"] I need someone to school me on Remington 700 firing pin springs. I currently have four Remington 700 SA (300wsm, 6mm REM, 7-08, and 22-250), one Christensen Arms Ridgeline in 300wsm and a Remington 40x in 223. I was going to change all the firing pin springs as I've never done so for the life of my rifles. I've heard different opinions. I ordered 4 -28lb springs from Wolff to try based on their recommendation. Upon looking them over my springs were all different lengths (see pics) and the new springs were longer. Which I expected since stock rem springs are 24lb. Upon putting in the new springs I noticed it seemed as the "coils" were rubbing on the interior bolt wall. I watched a video of Eric Cortina and Speedy and they brought this up as an issue to accuracy/fliers from inconsistent spring movement. I'm confused more than I was before now. Why are they all so different? And should there be free movement inside the bolt with no coil touching the walls as Speedy said? Just seems like that would be an awful light spring for that to occur.
