What happened there? Never had that happen before. This was in a 308 Remington 742 with 43 grains of varget. I also had to take the firing pin out and get the spring off cause it slid up the pin a bit and wedged between the pin and inside of the bolt. Had to trim a piece of the end of the spring cause it stretched and flattened out where it wedged in there. Need some help guys!

Same spring that came with it from the factory back in the day as far as I know. Bullet was a 165 grain interlock
Ahhh, chipped tip! Any way I could round this off again without making it too short?

Remington had them. Did you check Gravel Agencies
If not numrich sells used and repo
Pins are like 60 bucks however spring like 10
Cheers
Gravel agency is useless. Numrich seems like a PITA
Well I have NO issue with either and buy a fair amount of remington parts from both of them
Try Western Gun Parts in Edmonton. Phil.
I have no idea what your firing pin looks like.
If the tip is chipped, it can be touched up, but that would make it a bit shorter.
Most firing pins have a shoulder that limits the forward movement (protrusion). If you take a bit off that shoulder, maybe you can get the protrusion back to spec.

Once I get back to my base of operations I'll take a picture of it for you. There was a tiny little chip out of it and that pin drove mighty deep to begin with
