[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2194094, member: 24284"] jgs8163, yours is the reason to have a firing pin hole bushed. Primer flow back. Off center hits are usually caused by barrel receiver alinement issues. Although, it is not unheard of because of a heavily worn bolt or bolt being undersized for the receiver it's used in. I don't believe I'd weld with any method on the bolt face/lug end of a bolt. It's just not done. A good bushing job will be done so that the firing pin is supported in the hole when the firing pin is cocked. From the factory, it is not. When the pin tip is not supported (when cocked), it can create drag. In the past I have used a threaded bushing, soft soldered into place. Maybe I should investigate another method of 'locking' my threaded bushing in, as I have always been afraid of the heat from even soft solder taking the 'spring' out of the Remington extractor. I should also point out, the 'new' company that will be making Remington firearms won't be honoring any warranty from previous Remington firearms makers, just as Winchester does not warranty New Haven made firearms (Winchester is now owned by FN, I believe. Made in South Carolina). And at the moment, any Remington parts are unobtainum, anywhere. [/QUOTE]
