Bushing
the firing pin hole and turning the firing pin sounds small but this one
operation to the bolt has so
many benefits it's hard to believe. The biggie is it has to be done
correctly to work as a total benefit. It took two
years to perfect my system to get all the good out of this
operation. What
can it do for you? The most noticeable that you can see is for the cratering and
or primer piercing
problem for PPC comp rifles, varmint rifles and the high
performance 17's, 20's and 6mm's but not limited to
them. The part you can't see that took two years to finally figure
out is to make the bushing long enough in side
the bolt to guide and support the firing pin.
Cratering and piercing is not a problem with firing pin fit to hole diameter
fit. It has to do with pressure
control. The smaller the hole the more pressure it takes to blank
out a washer from the same thickness and
hardness material. So when your 20 Tactical or any other cartridge
craters bad and your load is 2 grains light,
the primer round and brass has barely formed the problem is not
fixed by a larger firing pin! The correct course
of action is to reduce the firing pin hole diameter.
The reason you want
Gre'-Tan Rifles to do the installation is because of the consistency of ignition
by my
bushing. This is accomplished because of the longer bushing in the
bolt. When you cock and load the firing pin
it stays encapsulated. This guides the firing pin back and forth.
It keeps it centered in the bolt helping to prevent
the spring from rubbing on the interior bolt body. The pin doesn't
drop down into the large ramp area behind
the firing pin hole in the bolt causing the tip to wear and have
different initial vibrations started before the primer
ignites. This all adds up to consistent primer ignition and getting
an accurate rifle consistently accurate.
So what size is needed? I always strongly recommend .062 for all comp, varmint,
and hunting rifles. For the
guy that has to always take his gun apart in hunting camp it's an
.068. For the
person looking for just the repair, all I need is the complete bolt. Turn around
time is 2-3 days.
