[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1056125, member: 50867"] That's as it should be. Without the firing in in place there's nothing to compress the spring when the bolt closes. If you believe the spring is hanging up or binding somewhere it's got to be either an irregularity inside the bolt or on the spring's surface. Replacing the firing pin isn't going to solve that. Before you spend money on replacement parts that may or may not improve your situation I'd suggest you take the rifle to a qualified gun smith for inspection. A few bucks spent to get an accurate analysis of the issue before throwing money after a ghost is well spent. [/QUOTE]
