How do you compress spring when not in bolt? I don't have a way to attaches pictures to this site. Are there different styles for the 110 series? Or do you mean for something odd?Originally Posted by Robinhood

This is the firing pin when not compressed. Dont pay attention to the instructions in this picture.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
here are some names to go along with the parts.

The spring is compressed wen the firing pin is assembled. It is not compressed when the firing pin is disassembled.
I borrowed this picture. If you measure the spring like this shows with dial calipers you will get the numbers we are looking for.

Go here for info on spring

Lets don't look at disassembling the spring and putting the heavier wolf spring in it just yet. There is also some other info on switchbarrel that is debatable.

I am suggesting a complete, thorough cleaning and re-lube of the bolt assembly. That means taking it apart and cleaning the inside of the bolt head, baffles, ENTIRE firing pin and spring and retaining pins. EVERY part that touches the firing pin. That way you know it is not dragging on anything and there is no shellac from previous owner's cleaning and lubing attempts.
Only thing I have not taking apart are the two pieces on the end, the bolt face. I did remove them from base. Spray down all the holes that the firing pin passes through. I did not take the ejector pin out of its body in the bolt face.
So how is that spring length? If you back off the spring to lighten the lift you "may" have inconsistent ignition of primers. If you have disassembled the firing pin how much compression did you reassemble to? How did or to what basis did you set the position of the cocking pin in the fired position? Do you have any references to go by.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

I didn't take the spring off the firing pin. Haven't measured yet.
Savage sent me an email with an address where to send the gun to be checked. No RA or postage. I was hoping they would say we have an updated spring.
Since the problem is so erratic, I don't think I am going to send it them, atleast not yet. PIA being home to sign for it, and driving to a UPS hub that handles guns.
Couple other things covered in this thread, not sure if was covered in something I missed on this thread.
