    It's around $65 total and he did mine in around a week. He loves to communicate and will even send pics when he is done.

    Dave, once again I have to agree with you. These loads have run just fine in the Model10 and the Axis with the same primers. I do know for certain that my Axis does not fire CCI#41.. So do you think just shortening the pin will cure this?

    celltech, thanks for the feedback. I will have to contact him.

    I would rather believe that the pin radius must not be below the face when the pin is in the fired position with a cartridge with a primer in place. That dimension could be much shorter than the firing pin protrusion dimension. I.E.... Firing pin protrusion is .040" vs firing pin protrusion with primer anvil bottomed out is .020. The firing pin Radius in Dave's picture is spot on.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    If there is slop in the pin to bolt head hole fit, no. Just going off the info you’ve provided, I think you have a case of “a little bit” issue. It’s a little bit too much protrusion, it has a little bit too much radius and a a little bit too much pin slop. Kinda like tolerance stacking, ya know? I could be wrong of course. Won’t hurt nothing to file the pin down a bit to check. I wouldn’t go all the way just in case it needs bushed. Take it down to like .045” and give the tip a nice Radius. If the problem still exists, my money is it needs Bush’d. But if it fixes the problem, or at least gets better, my hunch is confirmed.

    Good morning and thanks everyone!

    I trust and agree with all of you in you assessment. Yet I an still reluctant to start grinding away on this pin. I have looked around the web and seems no one offers the Savage one piece firing pin. So no do do not feel confident doing this.

    Can the New Style pin be converted to the Old Style?

    Phil, talking about the new style 1-piece pin, which became the norm in 2019 in all Savage 110’s.

    KMW, just so you know, the old style adjustable pin can be used in your bolt. The parts below are needed.

    Got it and thanks. Now my question isn't the cocking pin the same for both or is there a difference? I think I will be trying this first.
