I picked up a used Stevens 200 in 22-250. I'm getting very light firing pin strikes with about 1 in 20 missfiring. I thought headspace with the ejector holding the casehead away from the bolt face. I loaded some shell with a crush fit in the chamber, same thing. Today I checked firing pin protrusion .050, checked my other Stevens 223 and it was .057. Everything seems in spec from the Tech articles here on the site.

I attempted to take down the bolt but the bolt was very tight and stopped before I wrecked anything and decided to ask some questions before I proceed to drastic measures.

Any insight to my dilemma.

Thanks
