Is there a preferred bolt assembly style?

[Dave Hoback]

Hey OP, just wondering - were you able to resolve your non igniting firing pin strikes on your Savage? I am new to bolt guns and was following this thread to see what happens... and it's like you three left it at a cliffhanger. Thanks

I see. So it looks like that Wolf spring did the trick? Glad it worked out for OP.

Subzero… I really don’t recommend ever getting a Wolff spring. Trust me. You won’t see a single knowledgeable person here using one of those. The factory striker spring has plenty of energy. They are actually over-sprung. Misfires are always caused by a secondary issue. Either the OP’s spring was defective or altered, or there is another issue which is being bandaid by the 32lb. spring.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Wolf springs.
Every single round has fired since I installed it.

Robin, I would like to send you the factory spring for evaluation. If it is defective, I would gladly replace the Wolf with a factory weight spring. PM me an address.

I have since acquired another Model 12.
It had random ftf, with factory ammo and my reloads.
I put a Wolff spring in and it lights off each and every time.
Merry Christmas y'all.
