Home brew bolt work is on the agenda now-a-days. As the trigger is done. The action still needs to be sent off Sharp Shooter Supply for truing and timing! Waiting to here on a reservation time.
I just don't like the way the Savage Firing Pin Spring bunches up in the bolt. If it looks like a worm and nearly extends beyond the Firing Pin Stop Nut diameter in the relaxed position. Imagine how much its bunched and allowing for drag inside the Bolt Body Tube when compressed. Just not good enough for me as I cannot control friction and each time the pin fires it has a variance on pin impact to the primer. See copied photo from the net to see the bunching I am talking about. BTW if the Factory Spring tension is around 28lbs compressed and not dragging.
I decided to go with a Tubb Precision Chrome Silicone Firing Pin Spring for Savage 110/112 to alleviate this issues. At least if it drags I am reducing the drag because of material composition. Tubbs Chrome Silicone vs Factory Carbon type.

Another source for Savage 110 Firing Pin Springs springs I found is Wolf Gun Springs which offer a 32 & 36 Lb spring , but they do not provide a length. I had considered this spring and if it is the sane size as the factory spring I could trim it down in length and still achieve ~28lbs. I am sure a call would give you that answer.
Should the TUBB Spring not be to my liking I am out around $15.00 with shipping. Spring Cost online at Tubbs website is $5.00.
