Thread: Why didnt it go bang like it should?

@LRP has a point. My long love affair with Savages ended because while they are miraculous new, they fall apart in 5 minutes.

I would say a Savage can't take a stronger spring it's not strong enough and will just wear out faster. Seems what is happening to you.

Putting a stronger spring in was a Muppet fix. Something must have been off as there is no reason a factory spring would not work.

I hate fixes like that with passion. It's just wrong.

On a general note though, a light strike like that can be grit or hard grease in your bolt.

For hunting rifles your pin should be fresh and everything immaculately clean and lubricated with a LIGHT oil.

A sticky/slow pin will increase the lock time. It might shoot great at the range but it might also shoot like a bag of arse in the field.

If you grease your firing pin @Ryan_Songhurst when the rifle gets to low temperatures that will increase your lock time as the grease stiffens up.

Like a broken record I will point out nothing sticks to Eezox.
