    WSM CRF to Pushfeed "firing Pin ???"


    Ok, this project is coming together,BTW short action small shank, I used magnum firing pin from CRf and really concerned about protrusion?
    Should I shorten to length by turning the adjustment nut of firing pin or get another firing pin? "
    I have replaced the CRF bolthead with a magnum push feed bolthead, installed new ejector,spring,retaining pin, extractor,spring and detent ball. I put it all together then checked firing pin protrusion; I am getting .076 protrusion. I beleive is a little too much since my 30.06 is set at .044 protrusion.

    Well,
    I found a nice article on how to remedy this little issue,took some time though. I have the right firing pin after all and it just needed a minor adjustment after getting out a set of wire crimpers. Heres the article relating to firing pin protrusion. I now have 0.044 protrusion as opposed to before with 0.076.

    Thanks, kinda got excited about the way things were coming together til I looked back at my notes. The CRF bolthead stem is 0.977 The pushfeed modified is 0.921 The lugs were the same thickness 0.496 so, I re-adjusted firing pin protrusion once more to 0.031 with 0.035 being optimal;i'm calling it quits.

    @ stang thanks for all the help!
