Bent No4 Strikers

[Peter Laidler]

The important parts are the actual tip, so that it doesn't friction in the bolt head as it fires. The MOST important bit is the tail, where it screws into the cocking piece. L and R in order to ensure that the cocking piece is square on to the sear and U and D so that you get the correct 1st and 2nd pulls.

Hope that's clarified things a bit................

They all appear to have this bend just forward of the start of the threaded section.

With the action assembled, the sear feels quite uneven when used to release the cocking piece and striker, I suppose I'll get it stocked up before I can further analyze the issue, but it doesn't seem quite right .

Which way was the striker-firing pin bent in relation to the cut out for the keeper screw. Meaning could they have been bent to change the cocking piece bent angle. (trigger pull)

Where are the high-low areas (bend) in relation to the cut out on the firing pin?
