[QUOTE="gr8whyt, post: 494401, member: 28526"] I just had a 700 rem rebuilt. As part of the blueprinting, my smith spends a bit more time than most in that area. He bores out and threads the firing pin hole, then solders in a threaded bushing. After the bushing is installed the bolt face is re-cut. Next the firing pin hole is re-drilled to a reduced diameter of .0625". Then the diameter of the firing pin nose is reduced to .0620". On my rifle, this has made the firing pin strike very consistent, and according to the smith, this can handle higher pressure. Good luck with whatever you decide for yours. -- gr8whyt [/QUOTE]
