[QUOTE="Zerk, post: 1250834, member: 84595"] So it was headspace issue? I too have had FTF with my 116. 3. First two factory Coreloct, out them back in and fired. I forgot to look at primer. Now I had WLR primer with a dent. Shot a few more after that. Probably around 100-150 through the gun. Bought used, but still had sticker on it. Also had a few jams. I though maybe I bent the lips, I didn't realize it was only 3 round magazine. I have love hate for the gun. It can be accurate. But PIA to load. Magazine is longer then 700 and shells get cockeyed. Scope bases are cantalevered over magazine too. I have not measured firing pin, just visual. If I failed to fully engage trigger do to safety, would the trigger still fire, but with less pressure? I am to the point, I am thinking different firing pin assembly or bolt. I don't want to wait 75 rounds to see if it is fixed, when looking at a buck. [/QUOTE]
