| Firing Pin Protusion problem on 8mm Mauser I have 3 Mausers and get 100 percent success on one with my Czech Mil surp and the other 2 result in 80 percent failure to fire. I put 30 pound firing pin springs on both and no improvement. I learned the German specs for firing pin protrusion is .055 to .065 and the gun smith measured mine at .042 and .047. Swapping firing pins among guns didnt help any or any of the other parts. I am going to try to have .012 removed from the rear of the grooves on the firing pin that hold the cocking piece on and wondered if anyone knows a machinist with the equipment to do a real precision job ? Alternately I would buy a new firing pin if I could be assured they stick out longer. There is no way to tell when ordering new ones and they are expensive if you can find em. Any other suggestions? |
