Thanks that had me pretty confused. Perhaps you'd be able to answer another question? I've been running through the depths of the internet and from what I can see when you extract a round you reset the firing pin to its most rearward position, where the back of the firing pin is flush with the back face of the bolt (indicating the rifle is cocked). Then when you close the bolt on a new round the firing pin stays in that same position flush with the back of the bolt until you fire. On my rifle when you pull up on the bolt handle the pin goes all the way rear but when I close the bolt forward all the way the firing pin moves forward about 1/4th of the way back to the fired position where its no longer flush. Just an observation I made while looking around would like to know if I'm crazy or not. I could also post some pictures of what I mean if my very long-winded explanation was unclear.
