The new style firing pins aren’t adjustable, no. But you can still set protrusion if it’s too long. Measure for the appropriate amount it needs reduced. File to just shy of that amount. In your case, .059 less .035. So need reduced .024”. File .023” off flat. Put in a micro bevel for proper Radius & finish with sand paper. Round just the face but not ​past the bevel depth. A great way of getting it perfect is chucking in your drill press if you have one, or a hand drill held in a vice. Then use maybe 400grit sand paper in an arcing motion from bevel edge to bevel edge. Can finish the same action with 1000grit to remove any surface scratches & quick touch of Cold Blue. Sounds like many steps, but it’s not. It’s super easy. Things like this ya just go slow & measure often.
So, how necessary is this ? We see the accuracy achieved with the rifle in its present condition. Will this modification show vast improvement on target ? Is this modification more theoretical or actual ?
