Rebuild almost complete, with a couple tricks. (Lots of pics)
Some may remember my venture in doing Cerakote, and playing around with the firing pin & springs, ultimately machining my own. Here is the the end product. I still have to Cerakote my new Mirage URL Chassis.
This is the new firing pin I machined from S7 tool steel. It’s heavier than stock & delivers more force. I’m using a 20lb. Flat-wire, Chrome-Silicon spring.

I have the pin set at no more than .035” protrusion, If That!

And to the dismay of a one or two who speculated(I’m sure HOPED)the project fail, it lit off a primed case on the first go! As I new it would. Also notice the perfectly centered primer strike, a result of fitting the firing pin striker to the PTG Bolt Head I’m using.

Here is my bolt assembly all freshly rebuilt & Cerakoted. Using a Titanium Bolt Handle, with the Ti Bolt Knob I machined as well(another thread on the bolt knobs I machined here), and also using a Titanium BAS I came across. (Yes.. I like Titanium.. because it’s really cool stuff.)

It’s wearing a new style Barrel Nut I came across. These are like ‘em or hate ‘em. From International Barrels. I really like this style.
