Right on! Looking good.

Here are the 3 Firing Pin strikers together just for comparison.

Here is the Long Action FP striker before the modification. I have it almost complete and will add the pic after. But the white lines essentially show what needed done for this. The front tip was shorted the amount in the white box, but then the the larger diameter section needed turned down the same amount that was removed. Shown by the white line in front. The rear threaded ported needed the same done. Shorted roughly the amount shown by the rear white outline box. Then I had to thread more of the striker, a bit more than was removed, to give the Cocking Piece the ability to thread on as close to the edge of the Bolt Sleeve as possible. This allows full FP travel. And finally, the flat section for the Cocking Piece lock washer, had to be extended.

I finished machining the LA firing pin. Here next to a SA pin.

Please excuse, this is just mock-up to make certain everything fits & functions properly. That is why I left out the front baffle & the spring is just for testing. And so, I present the very first Axis/MAxis Adjustable firing pin assembly.

Capable of proper 035” pin protrusion with plenty of adjustment.

And here shown cocked. Functions normally.

HEY! That doesn’t look like the 1-piece firing pin & 2-spring setup!

Again, the Axis factory Cocking pin works perfectly with the 110 Cocking Piece & Sleeve.

I need to clean the parts & re-blue the firing pin. Should have it ready to go tomorrow.

[William2005]

Beautiful work sir

[Dave Hoback]

I‘ll have it finished tomorrow. Everything cleaned up & degreased. FP is waiting to be re-blued. I installed the parts in the bolt head & cut like 3 coils off the spring.

The bolt head came stripped.

One thing to everyone. If your think this can be difficult with losing the steel ball & whatnot, try doing it with ONE HAND! LOL! I’ve don’t enough now I have it down pretty good.

Here’s the cut spring. I have a nice bit I do with cut some rings so the end doesn’t stay all Bubba-fide! I head up just the area to bend in a little plate I made, while all the other coils remain cooled. Worked nicely. Then I grind the cut coil flat like the finished end. I’ll do that tomorrow.

[Dave Hoback]

Here’s the spring again after collapsing the cut end. SOOO much better.

[Underhammer]

Underhammer, You got that with a 7/16 lug length for a short action?

Yes it was a short action, for a 243.
