Need some help from some long timers.
I've got a 700 with the j-lock. I've worked on a plenty of 700s but this is my first j-lock I've laid hands on. It does have the snaked up firing pin spring in it and the firing pin itself looks different from the average 700 firing pin. I got inconsistent trigger pull weight with the original walker trigger so I put a timney on it. It is still more inconsistent than my other timneys. I haven't hand loaded for the rifle yet but I'm getting 100 fps plus ES with two different factory ammunitions. The first shot is the fastest along with the first trigger pull being the heaviest. Maybe just a coincidence but it has me wondering if this snaked up j lock firing pin spring has anything to do with it. I think I'm going to pull a regular 700 firing pin assembly out of my other 700 and see if it remedies the problem. Anyone else have experience with a j-lock?
