Question about firing pins.

[rge0012]

Peter, I read your article, and I definitely have a much better feel now for "fitting" a new striker and all that it involves. I had one question, though, about "stoning down" the striker tip to reduce protrusion. What exact materials do you use, and what is a good technique?

We used an as-issued three-corner stone together with lots of hard learned experience. That's all I can say.

And don't forget, that every time you change a bolt head - and some seem to do it constantly for some reason or other - it will change the FPP, overturn, lift and so on.
