Proper firing pin projection

Scottrt · 04-24-2019, 12:21 AM

No I am asking this all in advance. I haven't even fired the gun yet. Headspace measures right at .014,Which should still be okay I believe. The breach casing Depth and the firing pin diameter are both .059 inches. The firing pin protrudes .058 inches. That is basically your 1.5 mm So I guess I should be okay?

The gun is a 1900 AE, 30 cal, With its original early style firing pin.

I missed Don's response while I was typing this. Would it be dumb to think about dremllng the tip of the firing pin down so it only protruded 1.2 mm As long as I preserve a nicely rounded face?
